The blog is back, by popular demand. I am amazed and flattered to see that people are interested in what I have to say and I decided that time had come to bring my words back to life.

Because blogging is becoming more and more structured and done better and better all over the internet, I wondered for a while what my niche would be. There are a lot of excellent blogs out there about marketing, writing, dancing, designing, eating, traveling… and I didn’t want to compete with any of those; I would rather share with you the multiple stories that pop on my Google Reader every morning. So, where is my voice in this stream of information? What makes me different?

I will refer to a chapter of Eat, Pray, Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert, where the author plays around with words and tries to describe a city or a person with only one word. My word is Eclectic, that’s what describes best who I am: “composed of elements drawn from various sources” (Merriam-Webster) and that’s what I want this blog to represent.

Hat tip to Joey DeMalavez, my beloved boxing teacher from Joltin Jabs, who introduced my to Little Audrey (the original one) and inspired the name of that blog. Here’s what Little Audrey was saying, about 50-years ago, to find out what I have to say, keep on reading!
