Condensed Wisdom

Moving to @KalePrewitt on Twitter

noreply@blogger.com (K. Michael) — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 15:22:00 +0000

Thank you for the support over the last year or two. I have decided to discontinue this blog and post instead on Twitter with the name @KalePrewitt as the handle. The format is more ideal for the posting of aphorisms, etc.

In the near future, hopefully one month or so, I plan on launching CondensedWisdomBook.com to concur with the printing of my book, 'Condensed Wisdom: A Collection of Aphorisms & Quotations.'

Thank you again for your support. God bless you in your journey!
