Please Pardon Our Reformatting

We have received some comments that our old layout was too dark, and after having a discussion as a team we decided to change our layout and color scheme to make it more welcoming and inviting to those who might be shy to submit their story.  Our goal is the share everyone's fascinating stories, and if our site doesn't welcome people in to partake, then we are missing our vision.  Over the next several days you may notice changes, major and minor, to our site. Please forgive us for any inconvenience or confusion, however, we hope that the end result makes it a more pleasant experience and a greater voice to our vision.  Thank you!
