…And Why You Can Now See a Whole Lot More of Me!
It feels like a long time since I've put virtual pen to paper on Free to Pursue. And it has been.

I want to take the opportunity to mark this blog's 1-year anniversary and with that the opportunity to reminisce, express much gratitude and look at what might be in store for this little bundle of joy.
