Oh snap! I thought this was set to roll, but it wasn’t. Here’s a quote from my friend Carol, that she left for me on my slice last night. I need to accept these words. Here’s hoping they touch others too.
“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow. ”
― Mary Anne Radmacher
