dear friends:

and the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud, was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

I hope you haven't given up on me, because I've been germinating, sucking up the summer sun and all the sustenance I can from the kind Idaho soil under my toes and fingernails. I've given up on being anything but myself, no matter how many times a day that changes.

And just you wait and see what all that's taught me.
