a summer tale in short. . .

This summer (& year thus far), I have truly been blessed with enjoying all the magnificent happenings that life has to offer. I have gained new friendships while strengthening old friendships. Finally, closed one chapter of my life in lieu of a long awaited transition into a job I have been dreaming about. I can say with complete honesty that this summer has been the best yet. I hope to continue to follow this bright light all the way to its very end.
