I've been working like a fiend this past year. New job. Love it. Working with DeafBlind clients. Amazing! It is such an incredibly humbling and rewarding experience. Learned two types of Sign Language - not fluent yet, but I can speak without words now. Kinda cool. 😉 And truth be told, I think I have … Continue reading Missing My Muse
