Today is moving day. After carefully nurturing my public musings through their babyhood and toddler years, my blog has outgrown its original home and is ready for more.

When my kids were six, they all left the safety of their kindergarten classes and headed off to a new school to begin Grade 1. It feels rather fitting that my blog (my fourth baby?) is making a move at the same age.

So today, I unveil the new Act2 Scene1 in its new home. You’ll find new features, including a graphic identity,  a more robust commenting feature (I do hope you’ll use it and let me know what you think), the beginnings of social media and – gulp – a more visible profile of me!

But once you get past the makeover, you’ll find the journey is the same. I’ll continue to blog about my life, my thoughts, and my … well, my musings.

And in what can only be described as the most absurd coincidence, I took a break today from putting the finishing touches on the new site to take food (and a vacuum!) to my second son and his girlfriend to help with their own move. Newly graduated from college, he is leaving his student digs to move into his first “grown up” apartment, close to his new job. To say I’m proud of him is an understatement. Clearly moving is the theme of the day.

I’m sure there will be a few technical bumps along the road with this new incarnation of Act2 Scene1, but I’m excited to see what new opportunities come along with it. And I’m excited to have you join me on that journey. So grab a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of something more “adult” and dig around a bit. I look forward to hearing what you think!
