Starting Today ~

While I have long resisted starting a blog, despite being encouraged by many over time, a thought that recently occurred to me has caused me to at least begin. I'll share more very soon on that catalytic thought but for now, let me just introduce myself and what this blog may - or may not - be about when I really start rolling.

I'm an eclectic - many interests, mostly related, but often not. In my professional life I manage and market my husband's architectural firm. Over the 15plus years in this position, and the nearly 30 years living with an architect, I've learned a helluva lot about design - what's good, what's great, what sets my teeth on edge - and I've become an aficianado of design along with, as is my wont, a bit of a critic. At the firm we have a monthly electronic newsletter (sign up at designmatters.cfa@gmail.com) entitled Design Matters, so I chose that title as well for this blog.

Because design DOES matter - and because design matters - the issues, concerns and beauty - are really what drive my life and my passions.

Aside from the professional side of me, I'm a yoga teacher and a student of spiritualism, meditation, ritual and the like. I'm a mother of three adult children, and wife to the architect, Christopher Fye, for almost 30 years now. I'm a seeker, a traveler, a wonk, a philosopher . . . and, well, probably much more, but that will suffice for now.

Stay tuned. As I find the time - make the time - to build this blog, you'll learn the catalyst, and with luck, be able to help me out with it too.

'till then ~
