I decided at 56-1/2 years of age that I would like to have been called all my life simply by one name, like Colette. I would like to have had one name that was mine, that fit me, that never changed. That's me: Sutton. And this is my place.

New to your site, and delighted you visited mine. I love your Isak Dineson quote - and think it's very true. If only we could let loose sooner. . .
