About Me

R.F. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by." I think I live by that line. The tough part is that once you make the decision to go down that road you, in a good way, have to live with the consequences. The belief that one day we will have what we want and everything will be worth it is what often keeps us from touching the ground now. I can honestly say life is now and I love it. I hope you feel the same.
