A short bio about yourself.

At 41 I'm one of the older members on the site. When I was first raised Aes Sedai in March of 2006, it was as Aes Sedai of the White. In July of 2007 I returned to Accepted to re-explore my options because as much as I loved being White, I felt as if something was missing. That's when I found my home with the Blues. I don't regret for a minute the choices I've made here.
