If at first you don't succeed...

So I tried blogging our first year in Moscow but found the whole process incredibly frustrating. Why you may ask? First of all, I'd never written a public blog before. My livejournal had been set up as a way to communicate with a very specific, narrow group far-flung friends--kind of a virtual watercooler. Opening it up to everyone produced unexpected results. I felt weirdly vulnerable when I had something personal and intimate to say because I honestly didn't know who was reading. What I decided was to take a break and think about how I wanted to keep a record of our years in Moscow. Starting a second blog is the best solution. . Keep your eye on this space. I'll be updating regularly (I PROMISE) once I get back to Moscow. Make regular stops at the new and improved Heather Jarman blog. See you around!
