@matkodurko I appreciate you reading and connecting. I don't take offense to being asked my age (I think for a lot of us women that ended with my mother's generation though I can only really speak for myself). I'll be 30 this November. So quite a bit of time for life experiences and making LOTS of mistakes that, in the end, allowed me to grow.
Thank you for your beautiful comments and compliments. Really helps motivate me to write and create more often. Good luck to you as well.
