MegaMAID's Parenting Parables

Life moves fast! Taking time to write (or read) about it sometimes helps keep things in perspective. Below you'll find a few thoughts from Meg, a MAID in Maryland...

“Mother Addicted to Irish Dance” (MAID) is a title that I first began to earn in the summer of 2003. Watching my daughter express the music of my ancestry through this beautiful art form stirred in me a joy that was … all-consuming! It led to an “addiction” that I continue to feed as a parent, as a writer, as an adult dancer, and as an enthusiastic Craic participant.

Gone Missing

Congratulations! You now officially visit this blog more often than I do.

I love to write, and I sorely miss blogging… it just isn’t in the cards to be able to keep a blog right now.

If you’ve wandered here to see what’s happening, please call or email me instead. No worries - thankfully all is well! Busy, but lots of "good busy", and never too busy to want to connect with friends. If you don’t know my phone or email, dance.net-ers can PM me there, or anyone else can track me down through Teelin.

I debated deleting this whole blog, but that made me kind of sad because there are a lot of happy memories here. So I haven’t. Instead, below is a “table of contents” for what is left.

Cheers!

~Meg
