A Leave of Absence

1 Comment

Dear Readers,

I apologize for the lack of weekly Come, Follow Me music lists for the last while! I have needed some time to focus on family and personal concerns. I hope to resume in the next few months– most certainly for the beginning of the new year!

Sincerely,

Liz
