And as someone who definitely needs a major do over about eight times a day, I love your comments about your own life.

I like the sureness of his tone and how all of his YOU SHALLs are pointed away from the individual. Part of the reason I'm dissatisfied with my own personal YOU SHALLs is that they are all pointed at ME.Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-76542850690117635092012-01-07T05:15:23.022-05:002012-01-07T05:15:23.022-05:00Beautiful, Mary Lee.

I love the way you created the metaphor of a poem for your life: ""Is this what I need to do to "be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in words"? " How lovely to think about!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-23074391289684841552012-01-06T07:58:49.075-05:002012-01-06T07:58:49.075-05:00Great inspirational words and Pic.
