This gal was one of my first and only readers back in the day. That day was a year ago, and it was a Wednesday. Or maybe it was a Tuesday. Maybe it was a someday. Anyway, she doesn’t blog often, only when she’s really got something to say. It… Continue Reading Velvet Verbosity’s Blog O’ The Week

I don’t think I’ve ever heard commitment described so well as LouCeel does here: It can be awfully lonely, being on the outside looking in. And as for your fear of ‘getting comfortable’, committing – Have you ever stood on the side of the pool, thinking to yourself “Man that… Continue Reading LouCeel on Commitment
