Inspirations and Introductions

So why start a new blog?

I don't know.

The other one is a diary. This is a blog...I guess. Will this become bigger than the other? I don't know. I guess that remains to be seen. Will this one bring followers? Maybe. Do I want that to happen? Maybe.

I think what I like about this one is that right at this very point in time I can write and be completely anonymous. I can write and readers at this point won't have any preconceived notions about me. Sometimes I wonder about my other diary because I find that I have possibly revealed more than I ever intended to and more than I sometimes feel comfortable with. I have a sneaking suspicion that it will happen here too.

Anyway, introductions may be in order....

Hi there!

I am Leisa, aged 43, wife of one husband, mother of three adults and one teenager, sister of 6 siblings, eldest child of two of the most wonderful parents anyone could ever wish for.

I have two dogs, two cats, four rabbits, a guinea pig, two rats, two mice and three budgerigars.

I am Australian, have only traveled out of my country once but have a strong passion to travel more...hopefully to a country that is so culturally different to my own.

I work as an Administration Assistant in our state capital and work amongst the most awesome people.

I love photography and own a Nikon D60 that I pretty much use as a point and shoot. One of my goals is to teach myself what that little baby can do from the manual I was given and a Nikon DVD a friend bought for me.

There....that's some of the practical things out of the way. It's a very sketchy introduction isn't it? Sorry. I'm lost for words at the moment. There's so much more of me than who I am married to, how many children I have birthed, my pets, my work and what I like. I know that. I hope this blog becomes so much more than those things too.

For a while know I have this strong prompting within me that there is something more that I am supposed to be doing....so much more I should be. It's almost driving me mad right now. I want to know what it is. I don't know how to search for it. I think it has something to do with giving to something....some cause that is beyond me and my little microcosm. I think it has something to do with children...and families....and disadvantage...and community. But what?

Is that even it?

Please God, what is it? I can't just keep doing this same old same old for the next 50 years!
