In my quest to improve myself by reading more than one book this year, I made a point to try and finish one that was given to me last Christmas, (I think anyway). Namely, Amanda Palmer’s, The Art of Asking. There was a passage in there that really jumped ...

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Nov. 17, 2018

3,2,1, Let's Jam!

The Stories We Choose
