About

Hi! Welcome to my blog. My name is Robyn.

Just like you, I’ve gone through many changes and transformations in my life. Some are probably very similar to ones you’ve been through. Some may be like ones you want to go through in the future. Some are probably very different.

Why I’m doing this

This may change over time. but I think I want this to be a blog mostly about my personal story. People have told me I’m inspiring. I don’t think I feel very comfortable with that, but I’m going to put some of my experiences and thoughts here and see what happens. Even if no one reads this blog, I hope the process will help me.

How I think

I’m usually pretty open-minded. I tend to think of life in gray scale, as opposed to strict black and white, right and wrong. I think that there is rarely “only one real answer.” There are many valid points of view, and what works for one person might not work for another. That’s one of the things that makes life so interesting. I hope you will share your ideas and thoughts with me. I love hearing other people’s stories.

Who I am

To be a bit more mundane, I’m a woman in my early 50′s. I’ve been married to my second husband since 1992. We don’t have any children, partly through circumstance and partly through choice. I’m a Pisces. I’m an amateur triathlete. I have worked for one of the world’s largest public accounting firms, for the Executive Office of the President of the United States, and am now working for one of the world’s largest business enterprise software companies.

I was born and lived in the Washington, DC, area until May 2008. At that time, my husband and I (and our rabbit) moved clear across the country to Arizona, in the Southwest Valley near Phoenix. We did it for ourselves, because we love the open sky and sunsets. As you might imagine, that has been a major change for me in many ways, and I’m absolutely loving it.

    Thank you, Jim! I’m really excited about it too.

    And thanks for commenting. It’s great to know that someone has actually looked at it and cared enough to comment on it.

    As one of those who shared podcampaz with you, including Lorelle’s classes, I can understand why you’re so pumped!

    I’m still trying to sort out what I’m blogging about before going public. Lorelle made some great suggestions, but I’m not quite there yet. You see, I’m a ghost writer and editor, and not used to expressing my own thoughts at any great length.

    Your blog looks fabulous, and I hope it brings you much fulfillment!

    Hi, Amy. Wasn’t podcampaz great? I learned a lot there.

    I love Lorelle. Have you seen her book, Blogging Tips? I bought one from her at WordCamp the day before, but I think she ran out. I’ve found it really helpful in dealing with those kinds of questions.

    I’ve been thinking about doing a blog for a long time, and I had already set this one up last summer. So all I needed to do was start actually writing something. It will come to you. Small steps!

    Hi Robyn,
    I’m wondering if your interested in posting your blog on my site? With a name like “transforms,” I absolutely love it.

    Take a look when you get a moment at my website and who I am. I would like to put you in the personal trainers section. When you log on simply go to the new website to see what I do.
    Thank you
