Why?

Well, why not?

Fanning the flames seemed the perfect transition and description of life as it's been and as it now stands for me. Yes, I've been an active participant in this Blogger community before, sometimes as a reader, sometimes as a commenter, sometimes as a lurker. And yes, I've changed my "identity," not because I feel any less "connected" to my old one, but at least for now, the only way I feel remotely comfortable stepping back out into the public eye is to remain anonymous to some folks. So this will have to do for now.

I'm making no promises, no guarantees as to how often I'll post or whether or not I'll write anything worth reading or commenting on. Though the posting thing is hardly new to me, everything is new in some respects... my life has changed unalterably in the past few months. Not all bad, certainly not all good, and hopefully it will continue to change for the better. But like it or not, it is in flux, so this place will undoubtedly see tremendous changes, too.

If anything I've said strikes your fancy or makes you wonder, feel free to stick around for as long a time as you like. I'm very happy to see you!

By the way, though I've been deliberating about returning to blogging for quite some time, my final decision was made quite quickly, purely out of convenience. That being said, I WILL be making lots of changes to the appearance of the blog, too, so don't worry, it won't look this way for too long. But I LOVE the overall look and feel of this template, so at least it is a good starting point.
