New Stage of Life
When I was in college, I was given ads encouraging me to get a credit card. Then I was offered all sorts of bells and whistles to enhance my marriage. Next came the coupons for baby gear. Soon after, it was all about optimizing my career — then retirement incentives. It appears I have now…

I don't sew, but I write — patching together pieces of my life.
