A New Beginning

This blog is closed but I am keeping my entries from Trinidad archived and always available.

I kept this blog during the months in 2008 that I lived on the island of Trinidad and Tobago.

After a friend and I were the victims of a violent home invasion robbery/sexual assault on the island of Tobago, I decided to leave T&T to return home. At the time, I was not sure whether that would be a long-term decision or not. Well, it's been exactly two years since the attack and I am still home with no intention to return to Trinidad and Tobago, except for visiting in the future. However, T&T and the lovely people I met and got to know (especially Elspeth and Hayley) are still deeply in my heart.

The last two years have been a long, hard road, but I have my own place, a cat, and a job that I love. But one of the things that I missed was blogging with a purpose and goal and having fun readers.

So today I set up an RSS feed and created another blog, "Eccentric Auntie." (eccentricauntie.blogspot.com)

The blog is totally blank right now, but that's okay. The first Thursday of May is a sober reminder of how your life can change forever in an instant. To me, it's okay to be blank for a bit while I regather my thoughts.

So if you're just dying on the edge of your seats, waiting to see if I would ever write in a blog again....well, I think I will!

Love and peace to you all!
