How does change begin? Does it begin en masse?
Or is it the little pebble tumbling down the hill that hits the stone,
That bumps the rock, that starts the mudslide?
When we reminisce, all we remember is the mudslide;
No one remembers the pebble, the rock, and the stone.
-Me, February 2016
Welcome! I’m Francine and I’m excited to share my journey with you. This blog documents my evolution from full time practicing physician to a creative existence as yet to be determined.

There will be random musings about almost anything from birds to fashion to climate change and back, rants about my job and medicine in general, and lots of travel pics and information, mixed with hopes, fears and excitement for the present and future.
