And so it begins...

As you see, I’ve done the inevitable and started a blog for my Haiti experience.
I’ve enjoyed reading those blogs of people who have gone before me, as they gave me a good insight into ‘real’ life in Haiti, and I hope to be able to be as faithful in updating as they were.  Maybe there’s someone out there who needs to read what I’ve got to say just as I needed to read what they wrote.
I also was asked by a friend whether my newsletters were going to continue to be, well,  edited and this rankled with me. The last thing in the world I want to do is edit myself to appeal to a larger audience. And yet,  that was what I was doing. I was making myself sound ‘sellable’, ‘relatable’ and other junk.  I want to chase other buzzwords, no matter how hackneyed. ‘authentic’, ‘honest’, maybe even ‘couragous’. How many newsletters have I grown up reading that seemed to me no more than a brief business report? Too many. Little heart and no soul.
I am more comfortable writing things in a blog, and the chances of me uploading pictures is greater, if I have a blog, and well, I have more space to ramble. That’s always a good thing. Right?

Anyways, there is still a ‘Support’ link above, so that if you felt so inclined, you could.  The third tab is a link to my own poetic work or works of people I admire.  Que aproveche!
