Moving In

Well, typically I'm a wallflower and rather slow out of the starting gate but suddenly I realized it's been four months since I arrived here and I'm still standing on the sidelines. So I thought I'd weigh in.

Four months ago (to the day) I took the plunge and opened my Starter account. With equal parts optimism and scepticism, as I had already stumbled across a few less than wonderful online ventures. Well, the optimism is still going strong and the other one has long since evaporated and much to my amazement, I have created the humble beginnings of a website.

Then I completely surprised myself by deciding to make a real commitment to this, and upgraded to a yearly membership. That's had a noticeable impact on the way I look at what I'm doing and how I set goals for myself. A good kind of impact. It is something I would highly recommend.

So it appears I have moved into the neighbourhood and decided to unpack my boxes and stay a while. I am continually amazed at the sheer scope of this whole undertaking - this place we call WA - and the strong sense of community, which is so vibrant and supportive. And so glad to be here. I wish everyone well.
