Dreams and growth

Wednesday November 26, 2008 • filed Filed under: Reading/Writing

Because Andy and Riley and I have been on the road for 8 hours today, and we’re about to have a delicious dinner with Andy’s family, I’m going to make this post brief. These words are not my own, contrary to what Natasha Bedingfield may think. They are from Tu:

to grow we must be willing to let go of the things we think we know about ourselves and embrace the possibility of accomplishment. my dreams are big and failure is inevitable. it will hurt more because i will care more. incompetence will greet me and become my training partner. i am bracing myself to grow into the person i want to be. deep breaths and eyes closed.

    What beautiful words kristan. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Andy and Riley and all your families. I am thankful that the first blogger I “met” on the internet is a young, talented writer. with a big heart and big dreams she’s not afraid to go after.
