My old self ...with FLAIR! I've waited to exhale for more than 7 years now and I believe I can finally say - I'm there. Without diving off into the deep end I want to say - I'm doing great! It feels really good to be back too. I was so 'sheltered' and uncomfortable without even knowing it at the time. Now that I'm seeing things a bit clearer all I can say is W~O~W!
If ever you do step outside of the box, Don't be all too surprised when the box isn't at all what you thought it was.
