AHHHHH!  Ooh.  Here’s the thing: I have a voice.  Not just a “wow she can sing” kind of voice (which I’m thankful to say I can), but a point of view.  Or rather, a “point of voice,” if you will.  I’ve spent much of my life waiting for others to speak up.  At work, in my personal life, at jury duty, when people cut in line at the grocery store, pretty much everywhere.  I think I just cared far too much what other people would say or think about me.  Then this thing happened.  I found a few kick-ass women in my life who showed me that my voice is (gasp) valid.  Why it took so many women telling me the same thing for so long, well – I’ll chalk that up to just being a stubborn ass much of the time.

Apologies in advance for embarrassing or offending anyone, though I’ll protect those I’m talking about with elaborate and fascinating backstories and false names to throw you off the scent.  And to my poor mother: God knows how you put up with much of what I do, but hey, you brought me here, so I’m doing the best I can.  Surely nothing surprises you by now.  Much love.

Thus, here I am with stories to tell and a community that I really want to build if it resonates with others.  We’re not alone; I know there are many other smart, funny, unique women out there with equally entertaining stories to tell.  So let’s laugh, share, and have some fun, because as I often say, “Sassy, party of one…your table’s ready.”
