Ultimately we have to have that, every time we sit down to write. We have to somehow stop thinking about the foolish part, or embrace it if we can, and just focus on the hope. <br />Therese Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650808399946323284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-13092052719525447472014-04-11T13:21:44.763-04:002014-04-11T13:21:44.763-04:00Aww, thank you, Tasha!
