Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Isn’t it crazy how now one change, one decision, can trigger a whole domino effect? That’s what’s happening now. But it’s all good. As I’ve been alluding to over the past week, I am leaving my current job, where I’ve been for more than six years … ever since Dr. G. and I relocated from […]
