Hi there! Here’s my post from last New Year’s. I still don’t make resolutions for the same reason I’ve never made resolutions: I can’t stand letting myself down.

Everything Changes

You can listen to me read Everything Changes or you can read the blog post below. Finally, something within your control! Generally speaking, I like change.
