They say that the best blogs are focused, niche-y sorts of things.  Well, have I got a niche-y sort of thing for you!  I am a professor at a small Canadian university, taking a leave of absence and seriously contemplating a change of career – I have won the golden ticket with this job (tenure), and wonder if I am crazy to even consider giving it up.  On the side,  I teach yoga, and am always interested in learning more about my practice.  I am also increasingly obsessed with grass-fed meats, organic dairy and produce, and a generally grain-free diet.  I am mother to an amazing and strange teenaged daughter G, head-over-heals in love with my wonderful guy L, and potty-training a Chihuahua.

Oh, yeah – and the three of us are selling everything we own and moving to Mexico City in a matter of months.

So, if you were looking for a a blog to fill the “mid-life career-change contemplating, Paleo-eating, teen-mothering, happily-partnered, dog-loving, yoga-doing, soon to be barely-Spanish speaking expat in Mexico,” niche, you have come to the right place.  Maybe the only place.
