I have never been satisfied doing and thinking the same thing each day. Do I get bored easily? Maybe. Do I have ADD? I don’t think so. I just know ennui set in early, and I quickly realized life becomes vastly more interesting when I commit myself to learning.
How? Learning through reading, learning through listening and watching; learning and growing by trying new things and applying what I have absorbed to get better at living.
That early discovery has become my lifelong passion : learning something new and applying it daily to combat life’s slippery path to inertia and in doing so, relentlessly trying to live as fully as possible.

About Me
Call me Deirdre.
​
I’m so glad you’ve arrived! I am a lifelong learner living in Santa Fe, NM after years of being what I thought would be a life long Texan!

Early on, I wanted to be a "Renaissance Woman" in that I wanted to master several different skills. That lust for mastery actually turned into a joy of learning for learning's sake and the full life it has resulted in.

This space, Combat Inertia, is where I share with you what I have encountered in my journey of learning. These can range from everyday fun facts and activities to deep and enriching insights to ponder.
​
My hope is that what I share encourages you to not only combat mental or emotional inertia and regain the wonder and thirst for life, but share your thoughts as well as your embark on a deeper journey of learning.
