Winter on the coast.

I'm back and a lot has happened.  I'm now a lecturer and I teach people things.  It's unbelievably rewarding to go to 'work' and to know the possibility is there that you're making a difference in someone's life.   It has also been hot .  Way too hot ...

I can feel her babies move in her tummy and it makes me uncontrollably happy and excited. My new business cards. I have never had a business card.. it feels kind of good. My husband. He's great. He's calm, he's real, he's honest and true and we love ea...
