End of a Decade
In a few days we will not only start a new year but also a new decade. I actually started A Single Woman’s Chronicles 10 years ago… WOW… Over the last 10 years there have been a lot of UPS and DOWNS and much GROWTH… I will not recap 10 years worth of things but I will say I am not the same woman from when I started this.

Well this weekend I had the opportunity to enjoy some me time with my friends while celebrating a birthday. I think it is so necessary to get some time to myself.
