Lili Fulton Was Here

As an American Refugee to France I am lucky enough to have landed on my feet in this civilized city and I plan to make the most of my new home.

I have tried many different careers over the years – but was never able to fit my family’s needs in on top of anything terribly interesting. Still I have been paying close attention to the way of the world now for 58 years and I finally have enough ‘me time’ to put my thoughts out there. Here Goes Nothing.

Why do this?

• Because I have long suspected myself having lots of interesting ideas. I have started about 7 books in my day – but my mild ADD doesn’t help any. I watched my mother let her brilliant thoughts rot in her Alzheimer brain instead of finding the discipline to share them….and I’ll be damned if I go the same way. So this is Random Ramblings.

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
