I am a quitter.

I get all hopped up on a new idea, a project, a bit of fleeting inspiration and then poof… it’s gone. This is not a personality trait that I like to admit.

However, I have balls of yarn and knitting needles to prove it. I can also prove it by showing you the meager notes and run-on sentences from the month when I decided to really sit down and write my book. I have paint and sketchbooks and plenty of reminders of what I already know to be true: I am a quitter.  This blog however, will not be another tombstone of passing creative inspiration. I’m doing this.

I never want to quit, but it’s so easy to let life get in the way. To let one day turn into a week or a month and move on to the next project. This time will be different. I owe it to myself to create a space that embodies my life, my love and get out some of that passion that’s been bottled up and frankly, going to waste.

So here it is. The Z List. It’s just me– what’s making headlines in my world. The cooking, the travel, the thoughts, the failed experiments, the moments and whatever else feels like it belongs here.

I hope you’ll come along for the ride.
