Introduction Hello. Welcome to My Twelve Mile Love Affair blog. This blog has been created as a means to an end: I want to write this book and I need structure in order to create on a regular basis. I need consistency. I need to hold myself accountable as I seek to achieve this goal, and I have found that creating systems like writing a daily blog, whereby others are engaging with me as I work, is magical. It's an effective way for me to work. I hope you'll enjoy the writings I have produced thus far, and what is to yet to come. Thank you for your interest in my work. Hope

Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?

Flexibility: Being flexible allows for shifts, changes, malleability. Expanding something seems that there will be more of the same. Flex your (brain) muscles. Expand your horizons. Trying to do both. We'll see what happens.
