The Snow sings a song you can only hear in silence. It speaks to those who stand perfectly still, a primal music drumming in their chests: Be still. Be still. Be still. Be still … I think we both know I’m not really talking about snow. ❤

The Quiet Blogger: Day 1
Can I tell you a secret? Over the past 24 hours, I’ve changed my phone number … and my legal name.
