Valerie is a 42-year-old, single, Reformed Christian lady who lives in Baltimore. She doesn't remember a time
before she knew and loved Jesus, but she does remember accepting John Calvin into her heart in March of 2000.
Valerie is a member of Christ Reformed Evangelical Church in Annapolis.
Though her career aspiration is to be a housewife, Valerie has not yet found anyone suitable who wishes to hire
her for employment in that field (or, more properly, anyone suitable has not found her), so in the meantime she
earns her daily bread working in communications -- editing, writing, print design and website management.
My New Motto
Nancy Wilson's post on indecision and insecurity has kept me thinkin' all week. For the long version of my thoughts, see this comment on that post. Here's the short version, distilled into a succinct little motto I think I'm going to brand myself with: "Be cheerful, not fearful."

I'll write a post about the countdown when I get a chance.
On September 26, 2008 3:26 PMThe Danewrote... "Recently I asked a room full of college-aged women how many of them would describe themselves as indecisive, and a good majority of them raised their hands."
Here I thought she was going to say something about how they just proved that they were each actually pretty decisive.

On September 26, 2008 10:24 PMThe Danewrote... I think my wife would hesitate, wondering if she should raise her hand or not. For all that raising a hand in such a setting would imply, both to the larger group and to herself as an individual. Maybe she's just better at indecision. Maybe even a blackbelt.
