Book Description
So, i tried and tried to get the Open Diary opened to transfer my entries and had no luck at all. I haven’t been able to get on there for some time but I have so much I wanted to share with my friends. So this will be my new place to touch base with people I have known through cyberspace and some I have met via the phone and some in-person. It will be a new adventure of meeting new folks as well. At Times I will vent, day dream, free write and share my stories, add a photo now a again and connect with others along the way.
