Welcome, Charlynn!
I am sincerely delighted that you are here.
As Things Begin, So They Go.
It is my experience that when a project or relationship begins with missed communication, confusion and weirdness, it almost never gets better.
Keep a weather eye out for the Flakes, Bananas and Flim-Flam Artists and when you smell something sour, GET OUT.
(Be gracious, of course, but GET OUT.)
On the other hand, if things start out all groovy, flowing, fun and easy – don’t wait for more evidence.
Seal the deal.
Our first impressions are not always spot-on, but you may have noticed that they’re a lot more reliable than our “logical” I’m-doing-this-because-it-
Here’s to trusting your instincts today, and to a long and prosperous relationship!
Yours,
—Sam.
