Thank-you for the welcome. 

 

My journey to finding the Wheel of Time was a long and round about one -we passed each other once order twice before becoming properly acquainted.  I LOVE words and reading, throughout school I was typically bookish and bullied -fantasy was my escape -I'm sure that rings true for plenty of people.  I fell in love with Tolkien and devoured everything he wrote quickly.  A few people put EoTW in my hands over the years -figuratively and practically.  At first it did not gel for some reason -which is odd because it was precisely the type of book I loved.  I believe things happen for a reason and in the right time.  When finally we became friends, I discovered that it was not just a story but a series of lessons that I needed to learn.  -Accepting your situation, accepting who you are and not being budged despite outside influences.  I know that a series has gotten hold of me when I find that one special character I identify with and yep, it happened here too.  

 

Outside of reading, I have studied Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu and Tai-Chi and used to enjoy obstacle races (sadly I don't have the time to devote tot the latter now).  My other passion is travelling, my most recent adventure was Peru -I definitely left a piece of my heart in the Andes.

 

*raises a cup to all* drink hale!

Welcome welcome welcome!! I'm BB, eternal squire of the cavalry. It sounds like you've had a journey getting here, so welcome home ?

Welcome, Lethira.  I am the resident non-alcoholic drinking member (which is an oxymoron as a member of the band)  LOL.....  So how about an iced tea....    I used to have a special name for my iced tea but forgot what it was...so now just iced tea...  *sigh*  

I AM iced tea tho.

No, you are: Iced TEA.....NOT iced tea.....LOL      there is a difference....you are special....hence the capitalizations ❤️
