This is not the first time I decided to brave this endeavor; I managed to complete it once before in 2011. So, we'll see how well this goes.
A note on form: This is a clarity pyramid. I have written these on multiple occasions....there is something about them that I just find interesting (and a bit challenging). I even created a new space to explore/expose them a little more; I call it, Defining Moments.
