New Beginnings Hello everyone I hope you are all well, after taking a brief break from writing I have returned to discover that Opusia is finally up and running! I'm a bit lost at the moment as I'm sure everyone is but we will have the hang of things in no time thanks to the lovely @Honza who will be here to guide us each step of the way. I'm so excited to embrace this new beginning and this new journey with my Opussian family. Here's to new beginnings!
