I am writing these lines while listening to the most recently launched album by Depeche Mode. My all-time favorite music style/band keeping up with their traditions in a mature flavored sauce yet constantly reinventing, revolutionizing, and innovating true to their unique nature
as I am.
I finally saw the light at the end of my clothes piles tunnel! I struggled on so many levels for so many days, months and years trying to see that flicker beyond my new age, my new self tunnel, I now come proudly before you convinced I caught a glimpse of my new destination!

And throughout I’ve been happily married to the Love of my Life (my Adored Husband as you all know it), raising our four amazing kids (now teenagers).

Shall we take our time and do this coming-of-age style at our own pace?
