Your creativity is prolific but more crucially, you have drive. Your drive was a force to behold. I was perpetually stunned at how focused you were - through fatigue and relentless challenges (not to mention supernatural visits that I didn't even know about till I read your post after I got home!).<BR/><BR/>Even if a tiny thread of your determination and discipline was to catch on me, I feel like I could achieve miraculous things. <BR/>You're my poster girl, Meliors, and I've pinned this experience up on my wall to remind me of how magic happens - it's not in an instant, like we are lead to believe, it's through vision, belief then plain old step by determined step. <BR/><BR/>Thank you from the bottom of my overflowing and grateful heart...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
