Was and Is and Will Be

I know it doesn't look like I'm putting much thought or effort into my blog these days, so BOY will you be surprised when I finally show you what I've been working on. I'm growing, and it's an exhilarating but sometimes-painful process. Some important people in my life aren't going to like the direction I'm headed in, and that's okay. If I had to pick one piece of advice to live my life by, it would be this (from Richard Bach's Illusions):
New dreams are incubating. I'm really, really excited.
