Can't say it was a little strange sitting in the public gallery again. But, actually, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed so much of being on council, but to have the chance to not be on those hot seats, and to try to process things in a bit more relaxed manner, I welcomed those opportunities.
Only problem was trying to remember to keep my arm down when Mayor Milobar called for a vote.
It might be a little strange for Council members, staff, and assorted media to see my in the gallery. But, I am committed to attending as much as I can. You know, I am not sure if I will ever run for council again, but being involved in this community and trying to do good work is very very important to me.
I'm writing a column in the echo papers, as a first step back into publicly talking about community issues. My hope there is to try to inform, to be bold but not divisive, and hopefully be part of some interesting conversations.
