i moved!!!

ok, so i didn't actually move...as in moving house. i'm just moving webpages. for me, just as fun though! :-)

i've decided that i am going to continue blogging but feel that i need a new page, a new name and a new look. i enjoy writing and exploring my thoughts through my blog and hope you all continue to join me!

if you want to stay with me, please change your links, shortcuts or bookmarks to my new blog called "sans map".

you can find me here: www.sansmap.wordpress.com

and just as i like to mix french and english in life, my new blog name is just that. sans in french means without. and map, well, no explanation needed.

please bear with me as i move everything over...i still have to setup e-mail notifications, make some formatting changes, etc. as always, it's a work in progress.

see you over there!!!!

turning the pages

i bit the bullet and am officially going for it. i bought 3 books from amazon today as my first step.

these are 3 books that have been sitting in my amazon.com wishlist for too long.

for those of you with amazon.com wishlists, you know what i mean. you want the books, but maybe not right now.....need time to think about it, or just dreaming of having more books and click the little 'add to wishlist' button - forever saved in the list? (can you see me smiling from there? more books!!!)

are you dying to know what i got? can't stand the anticipation? (or are you just wishing that you knew the contents of my wishlist? hmmm....the curiosity!)

perhaps you are thinking that i got yet another book about the south of france or something in french, (my favorite topics), or a witty novel? a book about running, knitting or making soap? maybe even on gardening or something 'green'?

nope, nope and nope.

you know that one game, 'getting hotter'...'colder', 'getting warmer'.
well, you're very cold. freezing even.

i bought study guides. 3 of them. and i sure hope they help.

i am taking the GRE general test for admission into graduate school.

(now i know you can see me smiling from there...)

why should i only dream, hope or wait when i can do, accomplish and achieve?

i am turning the pages of my own story...a new chapter, perhaps a true beginning? stick with me to see what happens next...

......hmmmm, the curiosity...

go green ! !

you may be confused by this title, me being a spartan and all.

truth is, i don't even own anything anymore that even mentions michigan state. or the spartans. and i don't bleed green. (i think i heard your gasp from here...)

what i do want to talk about is about BEING green. not bleeding, or wearing or shouting green.

and i want to hear from you.

what do you do to help the environment? what part do you play in reducing, reusing and recycling?

share some pride about what you do to help mother earth by letting everyone know what you do, big or small. you may even give someone else a fabulous idea, or inspire them to do the same!!

we can all make a difference!

reduce, reuse, recycle....
lower consumption, lower emissions, lower greenhouse gasses

i know i'm doing my part to help :-)

no map

inspiration comes in many forms. sometimes it may even literally be handed to you.

the new name of my blog came as inspiration, on my behalf, to my talented sister. she always has good advice....and is unrelentingly supportive, i thank you a million times over.

so as i turn a new page, a new chapter, i will think of her kind words:

"may the map you follow continue to be uncharted"

our lives aren't already mapped out for us....we must make our own.

no map.
