This morning we wrap up Summer School and it’s interesting to see the transformation that’s taken place after just two days of a group of people being together.

Since I started this blog I’ve missed at most three days in 19 months, but yesterday was just too sweet a day to not make it four! I never went near the computer, making my first of several New Year’s resolutions a reality. I’m willing to share it with any of your who want to [...]
