word oh word.
Word of the day. I love the concept and have tried several times to follow through with the idea. Whether it is a completely new word, an old favorite, or a distant memory (used once or twice to impress a college professor), it is a way to start your day off with imagination and creativity. You never know what word will inspire you to DO something great or to BE someone honest.. or caring... or maybe a little bit crazy.
I will share a little about myself, through the WOD, and hope to learn more about you, my camarilla, as well!
