Usually I recount the projects I’ve been working on throughout the month but today I’m going to share some recent scenery pictures as well as thoughts I had from attending The Hello Sessions this month (a workshop-based conference…

This Was September
I will not mention that this month went by way too fast. Oh, oops. Okay, now that I got that out of the way . . . I suppose this is the inevitable as life goes on. I’m on my way to being the little old lady who shakes her head every time she sees…
