Smoke

If you know me, I live and die by two things when it comes to holding a conversation: clichés and puns. I love puns, and they seem to love me because they never fail to hit me everywhere I go (I swear I’m not actively looking for them.) The cliché on the other hand… they’re cliché for a reason, and that reason is that they are remarkably effective!

Lately, I’ve been reminding myself that “When there’s smoke, there’s fire.” When I say that, there is a trend or pattern that I have acknowledged that needs to be respected. In this case, I need to respect it because the odds of it happening again are strong.

I’m starting to heat up.. and I may catch fire.

Two students In Graduate school watched each other succeed, this sparked an idea once I graduated. The overall project idea became a commission, the commission was an absolute success. We became business partners and that partnership became a friendship and bond. The bond continues to grow…

It all started with a spark, and things are only beginning to heat up.
