I’m not sure how to go about this. Writing down my private thoughts and posting them online for the world to see? Who does that? Oh right . . . me!

Okie doke, then. To start with, my name is LeAnn, I’m a mother of one, and happily married to a man who insists I’m no crazier than any other woman. After 5 years, I’m still not sure if that’s as reassuring as he means it to be.

I was born and raised (for the most part) in Alaska, where my childhood consisted of digging up earthworms, building forts, climbing trees, and reading everything I could get my hands on. And yes, that includes the nutrition facts on the cereal box. I now live in Washington, and while I miss the sheer ruggedness of Alaska, I am in love with the hot summers and mild winters of my new home.

I’ve toyed with the idea of starting a blog for a few years now, and I’ve finally reached the point where I either do it or I don’t. So I did it. Yay me!!

I wanted a place where I could explore and flesh out my thoughts and (hopefully) receive feedback and start a dialogue with others who are interested in the same thing. I enjoy having my ideas challenged (okay, not really, but I do appreciate the need for differing opinions) and I believe an open mind is the most fundamental social tool a person can have.

I’ll be perfectly upfront with you, my posts will likely range from motherhood to nanotechnology. Varied, yes, but there’s no telling where my mind will take me in search of enlightenment. So please, explore at your leisure, ask questions, leave comments, and thank you for reading!
