“Well, just holy wow! Am I finally changing something??”  I typed that with such deep sarcasm, back on Sept. 22, 2020, when I had first started this new website.  I tried and tried to make edits to the starter-text that was already included in the pre-packaged theme – and just couldn’t get it to work!  Finally, eureka!  I was able to add the holy-wow comment!  I saved it, and went to get food, as it was clear I was starting to get grumpy. In order to protect my pride in the fact that I’ve stubbornly insisted on creating my own website, even though it’s been difficult enough that it took me several months, I must admit that I intentionally left the title on this first post in the blog.  Most content management systems with a built-in blog provide a demo first blog entry that says “Hello world!”  It’s intended that we delete and write something more cool, more slick, more professional.   Geek that I am, however, I find it funny that it’s still done this way, so I’m leaving it.  One of my core values is maintaining my own authenticity in all that I do, so I frankly don’t worry much about being professional at all times.  Especially not here!  So that’s my story about the silly blog entry.  Until next time, let your authentic self shine through in all things! ~ Rita
