The old adage says death and taxes are the only certainties in life. I see it differently. There is another certainty called change. My view began changing in 2006 and those changes culminated in my first book published in 2010 called The View From A Different Angle. As I continue to grow and find new angles, my view continues to change. I now see each day with the expectation of change. I no longer wait for it. I seek it out. With every new angle comes a new view.
