  No, not the mother of many who resided in overgrown footwear….but the rather the one who ingested a winged insect(: Today, while waiting for my car to be serviced, I was delighted to have spent time in the company of a vivacious and precocious 3 1/2 year old named Kaisha. She was there with…

Everyone we now know and love was once a stranger. I live by that maxim when I consider that there was time when those dearest to me weren’t even on my radar screen.
