What is this?

If you've stumbled upon this blog, you may be asking yourself, "What's this all about?"

Why start a new bl0g, especially one that doesn't seem to be about anything?

I've been meaning to start a blog like this for some time. I already write a blog about a soccer team (Go Whitecaps), but I've always felt I needed a place that was more of an open canvas where I could chronicle the little fascinating things in life. A place where I can write down, share and discuss the little bits of wisdom that I stumble upon.

I've chosen the name Turn A New Leef because this blog is all about making every day interesting, either by learning something new or doing something differently. Every day is new and fascinating, with its own set of lessons and adventures.

And since I'm leaving for Africa in two days, there isn't a better time!
