Hello,
Welcome to Carried Away…
Who am I, and why are you here?
That is a fair question. I am not sure anyone ever fully knows who they are, but I am here because I believe we are meant to keep exploring.
I am forty-one. I am a mother to my daughter, Chloe, a wife to Neil, a daughter, and a sister to three brothers and one sister. I work as a financial assistant and I am a licensed life insurance agent.
More than any title, I am a lifelong learner, living somewhere in the middle between who I have been and who I am becoming. This space exists for that in-between place. A place to explore ideas, interests, stories, and quieter truths, without needing to have everything figured out.
Welcome to Carried Away. This space is as much yours as it is mine.
Come jump in the deep end with me, and let us discover who we were always meant to be.

Questions or comments? You have come to the right place.
I also love random facts.
Three random facts for you:
1. Octopuses have three hearts, blue blood, and can regenerate a lost arm.
I did not finish Remarkably Bright Creatures for book club. I adored Marcellus, but I found Cameron difficult. I did, however, enjoy the wine and the conversation. Also, should the plural of octopus be octobpi? I will be thinking about this for a while.
2. Bananas are berries, but strawberries are not.
Botany makes its own rules and refuses to explain them. I respect that. I sometimes feel like a banana.
3. There are more possible games of chess than atoms in the observable universe.
Strategy and the universe, both observable and not, are long standing interests of mine. I am currently on day two of learning chess on Duolingo, and day two hundred and thirty of learning French. Bonjour, je suis une banane.
