They then narrowed down the responses to three.  Just three.  This list was made a couple of...

Change by Chapters
Change
I've been thinking about change and the role it plays in our life after having a chat with a good friend recently and these words keep rolling around my head...  "There will be many chapters in your life.  Don't get lost in the one you're in now."

The Good Reasons Why I Stepped Down as President of Team Up
