Only with tenacity and perseverance. By having faith in yourself and never fainting in the face of adversity, we can achieve the proposed goals. A determining poem to fulfill our wishes. Excellent self-reflection. Greetings.
Glad to be able to give that support. We all need it at some point, right?
You reminded me of something that my great grandma used to say: “Cook’in lasts, kiss’in don’t.”
And she taught me to always cook extra, to have enough to offer someone else. This work here in our blogs, to me, is like cooking extra for other folks, in case I can offer a bit of nourishment.
Absolutely beautiful, Tammy. 💕
