Thank you for visiting me at my new blogging address. As I wrote in this blog, introducing our new Love4Gambia runner Andrea to the world, Andrea will be assuming most of the blogging at love4gambia.com. I love to write and I love when you read my writing and leave me comments, so I’ve decided to continue here. You can find all of my writing from The Gambia on this site (thanks to team wordpress!).
I am thrilled beyond words that Andrea will fulfill my team’s dream to keep our Love4Gambia legacy alive and will run across the country of The Gambia beginning June. Her journey in support of the Nova Scotia-Gambia Association will keep kids and communities alive in The Gambia.
Andrea will fulfill this dream while I work on another: bringing a healthy baby into the world this April. Most of my life now revolves around running while pregnant and preparing our life for Baby Poirier, aka Lil’ Pear. Expect more blogging about this pregnant runner.
I wish that I could take credit for “Forever in Running Shoes” but credit goes to the creative genius of one Vira Kou. I love this blog name for a few reasons. It reminds me of Vira, my forever life friend. I’ve enjoyed Vira’s friendship and uproarious sense of humor for more than a decade. The name also makes me think of growing up happily to the soundtrack of Neil Diamond’s “smooth velvety voice.” My father is one of the biggest Neil Diamond fans around. Finally, “Forever in Blue Jeans” is my cousin Melissa’s favorite Neil Diamond song and thinking about that makes me happy.
So for now, see you the roads and on the blog. I leave you with the most fitting video that I can, “Forever in Blue Jeans.”
