Welcome to my new blog site, ruthdobsontorres: weekly notes from the SheCave!

What’s a SheCave you may ask?  A SheCave is a wonderfully personal place for the lady of the house — a place of solitude, for thoughts-gathering, for reading, for phoning friends and family, and, for blogging!

Though I’ve maintained another personal blog site for a few years now, I’ve decided to “amp things up a bit” with this new site.  The commanding words that a former IBM manager of mine shared with me more than 10 years ago (“I know you enjoy marketing, Ruth, but, remember, you can write”) have been harkening back to me lately.  I’ve come to realize that, though there are millions of individuals out here in the blogosphere, I’ve got a unique voice and perspective to share.

I’m not promising earth-shattering truths, just the truth “according to Ruth.”  In each of my posts, I want to remind the world of the people, ideas and things that I love and that spark a passion in me.

On that note, one of my favorite things is the French language.  Another is writing. Now is the time for me to write.  Maintenant, c’est le temps vivre!
