I usually reserve my blog for my own assorted ramblings, but there are (many) times when someone else writes a sentence or passage so much more brilliantly and eloquently than I could that I can't help but gape in awe and, once I've recovered my senses, want to share it with others. So, in that spirit:
"I wish I'd known from the beginning that I was born a strong woman. What a difference it would have made! I wish I'd known that I was born a courageous woman; I've spent so much of my life cowering. How many conversations would I not only have started but finished if I had known I possessed a warrior's heart? I wish I'd known that I'd been born to take on the world; I wouldn't have run from it for so long, but run to it with open arms."
