about

I am being re-invented.

Rookie mom (of 2), culinary apprentice, amateur photographer, domestic engineer-in-training (EIT), novice blogger.

I am on a tremendous learning curve – the steepest curve of my life so far.  Ironic, since I completed a graduate degree one year ago in July, 2008 – you would think that all new learning after that should be a walk in the proverbial park.  But, not so.

Over the next four years, keeping my men alive (my husband and two very little boys) is my all-consuming objective.  But, in the fractional time allotted to me, I strongly feel the need to reflect on my identity and who I will be going forward.

I hope that Deirdre Speak will help me lay the groundwork for a deepened relationship with Christ, the ability to mentor and encourage my friends and peers, and a new business venture, not to mention the aforementioned “extra-curricular” activities.  Deirdre Speak is a personal exercise, but I am delighted to share insights, experiences, serendipitous moments, and hopefully even some laughs with you.
