Sunday Synopsis: November 8, 2009


Yet again, it has been a while since I posted, so my little synopsis is for another couple of weeks! I have had family in town and I also took my first ever trip to New Orleans!! This has been a much needed break and I have had the opportunity to think long and hard about this site and my purpose behind it. And, after all this thinking, I have come to a decision . . . I will be making more changes to this site! I like to think that I am constantly making changes to improve. I have loved maintaining this particular site, but with some recently nagging feelings combined with a new role in my life, I've decided to take a step back and go back to my roots. I don't want to give away too many details here . . . afterall, I am still working on ironing out the creases . . . but I will be posting my changes in the very near future. Be watching for it as well as a GREAT, BIG GIVEAWAY in the next week or so!!!! Now, moving on to my synopsis . . .
