This is my friend. My writing pal. A fellow traveler whom you might have heard of. Her name is Shannan Martin, and way back in the day, in the cave-drawing, hunter-gatherer decade of the blogasphere, she was known as Flower Patch Farmgirl and I was known as My Little Life and then Jolly Goode Gal (because, hello Enneagram 7.) In those ye old days of yore, Shannan was happy fixing up her ... View Post
