☆ About Me ☆
- (¯·._☆ Crissy de l'Aigle ☆¯·._)
- Well this is kind of hard to sum me up in a few words.... It has taken me 28 years to realize that I am a constant work in progress. I know what I want, I know what I need, it is just a matter of bringing everything full circle. I have learned to embrace the idea that everything happens for a reason weather good or bad. That everything has a positive purpose....with this understanding I am finding happiness and serenity in my friendships, life and love with each passing day!
