A reminder we often don’t have the courage to dig for and give ourselves. If there’s just one person out there encouraging you, it’s amazing what can be done. None of us wants to be alone wrestling with our passions. Courage is right. Learning to count getting better as a success is priceless. Thank you for reminding me of that.
