This is Charlene Adhiambo’s occasional newsletter. Here’s what’s been happening and is to come in Charlene’s corner of the universe:

Happy spring, almost summer! (in my eyes!)

Thank you to everyone who attended Lil Sis & The Furies. I deeply appreciate your support, and all of the metaphorical and literal flowers you showered me with. It means so much. Lil Sis will definitely return sooner than later!
