      Yvonne’s birthday is in December. December Sagittarius ppl are the coolest to be around on all levels. It makes sense their relationship and Issa a Capricorn.

    When she said: "When you're the person who normally gives light...". I hear that... Eventually, you realise that THAT'S your thing: empowering others, and in the process, keeping yourself motivated and happy. So... you get a grip, brush off your shoulder, pop your collar, and say, "Yes, I'm back! Let's do this!"
