Welcome !

Welcome to my personal website...me being Michelle Nicholson. I have, for a long time, thought personal websites were cheesy. I still believe this to be true. However, I have found that for those who know and love you, a personal website can be a way to keep people up to date with your goings on. This is of particular importance for me since my life, including my address, changes frequently. While I hope to be coming to the end of that shortly, the reality is that change is forever just around the next corner. Therefore, for those of you who don't want to lose track of me (and I thank you for that), this site is for you.

There you have it. Oh, I almost forgot...the name of the site...Westafricanrains. The rains are one of the things I miss most about growing up in Nigeria. After being without for six months out of the year, the coming of rainy season was an event. Sometimes, we even got out of class for a few minutes to go play in the rain. It was a full sensory experience. The sound of the rain drumming on the tin roofs, the smell of newness, the sight and feel of rain after being without for so long....
