Winds of Change  Time changes everything, and we need to be able to re-evaluate our own lives and the direction we are headed in. It doesn’t matter if the direction is one we have selected for ourselves, or one where life itself has lead us there unaware.

Social economics and how one perceives their status in society is often an underlying emotional trigger waiting to go off.
