Too often I look at this little one and I’m overtaken with awe.

Introverts & Extroverts Share the Table
As an extrovert, I am not intimidated by speaking publicly, or striking up a conversation with someone I don’t know. I don’t necessarily sign up for all of these opportunities; but, I don’t run away shrieking with fear. I can easily wear my emotions on my sleeves, while being a “what you see is whatContinue reading “Introverts & Extroverts Share the Table”
