Better Late Than Never--Right?

It has been some time since I posted on this site, and for that, I apologize. Since I apparently have only one follower, that means you, my friend, so please accept my sincere apology for leaving you hanging.  However, in my defense, I did tell you right from the start that I was an unreliable narrator, so blame my obsessively focused but short-sighted commitment to things once again. I tend to get totally focused and obsessed with something, then if it doesn't lead to the immediate success, as I think it should, I move onto something else. This is something that poker has helped me with in the last few months, so if you continue reading, you will see where I'm going with all this. So if you've got the patience of Job, bear with me, and I'll get you there. 

I got sidetracked by some other writing projects that have taken some time and focus. Since returning from the PCA, I got involved with writing for Examiner.com, which by the way, is a great venue for writers who want to get some exposure in their subject area. It has opened a lot of doors for me. If you're interested in seeing any of the articles about poker I've written for them (67 so far!) here's the link: Examiner.com National Women's Poker Examiner . I've also written some articles for the PokerStars blog at this address. 

It has been a great year and a half since my first post about winning the seat at the PCA. If you want to know more about how all of that turned out, please see my first articles on Examiner. Suffice it to say I didn't win, but had a wonderful time. There are quite a few pictures of Atlantis and other poker venues, players, etc., on the site as well. 

But now I want to get back to writing on a more personal level about the game I love (and hate!) and the challenges that result, the things I've learned, and so on. So if you're still interested in following along on what has been the most adventurous, surprising, rewarding, exciting, disappointing, frustrating, and overall the greatest roller coaster ride of my life, stay tuned. My next post will be about one of the great life lessons poker has taught me: Life Is Not Fair. I'm slow to catch on, but I think I'm finally getting it. So stay tuned.
