About Me

First off- that picture up there... It's not me. That's just a stock photo until I find one of me. But that might reveal how this blog, and the new website all got started. 

About a year ago, I was in a very ho-hum state. My career as a mom was winding down, and the daily question, "So now what?" plagued me. I didn't know who I was anymore and I felt very small. More than that, I felt voiceless. 

So this blog is a way to reconnect with myself, and I think with many of you, who may feel this same sort of internal disconnect. If you've ever been told to adjust yourself, to tone it down, to make do, then this site might be for you. If you've ever felt not brave enough, then this might be for you. I try to make sense of all the nonsense, to quiet the noise and reconnect the facts. 

CommonSense in A Nonsense World reflects my interests which are all connected, some through words, others through flour, sugar and eggs. I write, I bake, I chat. 

But mostly I connect the dots in a more divided world.  I hope we can all come together more, see our differences are more similar than we thought, and grow together, not apart.

You can find me here, and on my Instagram @catherine.brennan 

Thanks and welcome.... to CommonSense In A Nonsense World.
