Something happened to me after my last post. Something clicked. I’ve got to chuckle because, after all this time—after having ceased exploring my femininity many months ago and setting my sights on what I considered vastly different horizons—I find myself here.

Kind of Woman
I spent most of yesterday afternoon reflecting on my previous post, in which I proposed to institute a series of small, but valuable, changes in my daily life.
