About Me

I’m afraid to speak or move for fear that all this wonderful beauty will just vanish…like a BROKEN SILENCE. (Anne in Anne of Green Gables: The Sequel)

Welcome to my blog!

I am Lisa:  former CPA, now a stay-at-home Mom and (for now) a homeschooler.  I minored in writing in college and always wished I’d majored in it.  As I near the dreaded “middle-age”, I am realizing that I’d better stop regretting what I haven’t done and just start doing what I want to do.  So I’m going to write here at Broken Silence and hopefully I’ll get better and better at it.  I’ve got lots of obstacles to overcome, not the least of which are my introverted personality which makes me tend to want to remain anonymous, time constraints, and the fact that I haven’t had much intellectual stimulation or adult conversation in the past five or six years.

I live in the Pacific Northwest, my husband is Tim (a software engineering manager), and I have two occasionally-delightful children named Kendall (9) and Evan (7).

I’ll blog about things that interest me which may include, in no particular order:  Food, God, church, family, homeschool, health and nutrition, theology, getting organized, what I’m reading…hopefully, you’ll find something here that also interests you!  Disclaimer (because every good blog needs at least one):  I don’t purport to be an expert on any of these topics.

As Anne would say, “I know I chatter on far too much…but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don’t.  Give me some credit.”

Happy reading!
