The Winds of Change
It’s one of those times of life for me. Great change is on the horizon. I feel it coming. It’s exhilarating. Thrilling…and a little… intimidating. Why? Because change is different.

And whether or not you read the ending first. And how many pages do you actually give a book to prove itself? I’m looking to learn more about you. your fancies, your whims. What makes you tick? And this is not just to see if I’m the only crazy person in the world. Girlscouts honor ;) To kick things off, I’ll give you my own quirks: When I’m in...
