Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood....

Welcome to the first-ever installment of "The Schultz Files" at its new location: http://theschultzfiles.blogspot.com/

My name is Laurie C. Schultz and I am a single, almost-31 year old woman who has chosen career over marriage, cats over children, Teaching over Journalism, education over vacations, chocolate over vanilla, and so on and so forth. I have stood at the fork in the road many times, and much like Robert Frost, was "sorry I could not travel both". The path I have chosen has formed the person I am today. We all make choices, and the consequences of those choices are what we must muddle through on our way to becoming the people that the Fates have designed for us to be. This nifty little piece of cyber space is a perfect forum for me to discuss, and most likely critique, that which is going on around me, as I make my way down the path. Those who know me know that I am often heard expressing my opinion regarding the matters of the day, so why not extend the opportunity to the great-many out there in the vast internet space-time continuum? Now you may be wondering, "why do I care what Laurie's opinions are?", and quite frankly, you probably don't. In all honesty, this is a space for my own personal catharsis. For me, the best way to exercise my thoughts and opinions is via the written word. "The Schultz Files" are there for your examination, should you be even mildly interested in the little world inside my "noggin". You are cordially invited to explore my take on issues that are of a personal concern to me. If you'd like to engage in some dialogue, by all means, please respond. Sometimes I'll ask for an opinion, and sometimes I'll give you one. The thoughts and opinions expressed in "The Schultz Files" are my own. We are all a product of our experiences, and the events of my life have had a definite influence on my assumptive world view -as I suspect yours have done for you. You may not ever agree with me, but if my perspective is enough to at least make you think about the issue, and your own personal viewpoint in a critical, reflective manner, my job is done. I believe the best discussion arises when perspectives collide, for how boring would life be if we all agreed all the time!

Welcome to the journey.

Why would I care? Good question. It's one I ask myself every time I write something and click Publish.

I started off by writing for myself. Eventually, I learned it's more fun when you get everyone else angry at you for being such an opinionated doof.

Words. They're pretty powerful little beings. I'm glad you're adding yours here. Looking forward to reading more...

Oh yeah, I'm adding you to my blogroll, too. Just because.
