October is a special month because there are TWO guest blogs! I've been posting one every 4 weeks and this month, there are two! I want to introduce you to Darcy O'Brien, one of my dearest friends from Sequim, WA.

Beauty in the Detour
I love and appreciate when things go according to plan. Typically my plan. Yes, I'm an #Enneagram1. Naturally, detours are not my friend. They're time-suckers and plan-killers.
