Why am I Here?
I signed up for one of those WordPress "how to blog" classes in hopes that I will learn something and get a little bit more disciplined about this! The first assignment is to write a "who I am and why am I here" post. As good a place to start as any. (This blog isn't on WP but one of my other ones is, and this blog needs more attention, so.)
Who am I, though? I'm a mid-life wanna-be career changer. I'm fascinated by everything I've come into contact with since my introduction to agile practices three years ago. I don't know if they can save the world, but they can certainly make us less miserable while we go about our work, which is a step in the right direction.
I'm a very reserved person and don't share myself easily, which can come across as being detached or diffident, but is really just a reflection of the fact that I'm very introverted and have a degree of social anxiety; trust is a slow process for me. I have a family and a cat and several hobbies too many (can "updating my Trello board" be considered a hobby? bullet journaling?). I hate the idea of a personal brand with all of my being as reductive and flattening of the contentious multitudes contained within all of us. Brands are for owned things.
As for what I want to do with this site, ideally I would be using it to capture my thoughts, reflections, and accumulating knowledge about agile tools and how we can use them to improve our lives.
Simple as that.
