Where I'm headed this year...

Off to Bennington for the MFA program, it seems. Got the phone call Monday and I've never been quite so pleased that what I want and what I need seem to align themselves.

Getting out of my own way has never felt so good.

Hello

Hello all! I would like for you to take a moment and visit either of these two blogs I am now working on. They are a great way to be informed about the Miami community and also stay involved with your own.
