Hi All,

Confession time - I've been lurking here for some time, reading posts and wanting to join in, but unsure about where to jump in.

I've been a member of the church for many years but activity has been sporadic for various reasons. Have three beautiful daughters and a non-member husband who stays home to watch the baby. I am a midlife mother (had my last two babies in my 40's), and I am a professional who works fulltime as the primary breadwinner for the family. I like to think of myself as being a compassionate and loving individual, but I'm not terribly good at social graces either at church or work or most other places...I think I mustn't project 'warmth' (probably because I am stressed out most of the time with everything I have to do and from never having enough sleep) when in fact I feel very warm towards others.

I often find myself on the opposite polar end of discussions and so wonder if I really am completely barmy in my interpretation of the world sometimes. My opinions are driven by a strong belief in social justice. My experience thus far with online communication hasn't been too successful (I'm trying to be better at it!), so if I come across as weird or strange or whatever, please let me know, it's not deliberate.

Now that I've given a weird and strange introduction...look forward to getting to know you all a little better, if you'll have me
