Hello world!

I’m starting a new blog to integrate my current consuming passions under one domain. I am mad about ASL (American Sign Language) and I long to be an Interpreter of Sign Language. Someday I will achieve my goal! Eventually, I might shunt some content from this site to other blogs or websites as my content grows. Initially, however, I will talk about such things as ASL, my obsession with YA (young adult) fiction, my struggle to learn to enjoy cooking as much as my husband does, my dog, my desire to keep a clean house, self-development, how to beat depression… and on and on. Mostly, I will try to keep my content oriented to all things D/deaf. 

I want to create a space for beginning interpreters to share ideas and experiences with each other. I have been searching the internet for a place to meet other new interpreters and it is seriously lacking! I want people come here to share their thoughts on cochlear implants, mainstreaming, and teaching sign language to hearing babies. I want people to share their thoughts on hearing people taking advantage of deaf people. I want to share links to art and poetry from Deaf people as well as links to amazing Vlogs in ASL, which I will sometimes attempt to translate. So, as you can see, I welcome D/deaf people to check out my site too. I plan to build my profession (interpreting) around providing a communication interface between deaf and hearing people and I consider all of your input to be invaluable. 

I am a beginner. Teach me.
