It’s like I’ve created a new friend each time I finish one.
Happy Thursday, everybody!

And then hopped sidewise to the wall
To let a beetle pass.
Emily Dickinson

So, here’s the evolution of my VIRGINia Woolf.
*Did you know the starfish is symbolic of the Virgin Mary and can also represent guidance, intuition and inspiration? Again, who knew?
Happy Monday!
