The last line of your poem is my favorite -- growth is always the result of that process! When I first started blogging, I felt that way about all of my writing, but I've gotten more confident thanks to all the encouragement from you and others in the SOL community. I hope you share here the poem you write for the challenge -- I'm sure it will be awesome!JenniferMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603450967368808356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-91988663552455572102012-03-13T15:45:00.447-06:002012-03-13T15:45:00.447-06:00Linda,
