Letting Go

By SugarMagnolia in Touch of Grey

I often wondered what I would write in my final Victoria Advocate blog, because I knew there would come the time for goodbyes. Would I be eloquent? Would I be angry? Would I be sad? And, in the end, there is nothing ...

Say Hello to the Universe For Me, Mr. Bradbury

By SugarMagnolia in Touch of Grey
