Today’s prompt: Make a photo that represents something that you aspire to be or do one day.   This prompt couldn’t be better timed. Recently I have realized that I’m not as good a listener as I perceived myself to be. This is very upsetting! I always thought that I was somewhat gifted at helping ...

A bizarre turn of events.  I stood in front of Visualassignments10.  Empty. Not a soul had dared.  Why? What was so uninviting?  Here is my tale.
