- I can disagree and speak out and do it in an impassioned way without expressing disdain for the other side. I can also educate.
- Not only do I like the blending of faith and continued learning with writing, but I NEED it.
- I have more self-confidence than I thought I did.
- I’ve changed so much in the last two years, and I’ve also realized that I am ever evolving and the changes aren’t finished getting, like clay. I need time to breathe, like a fine wine and see where my journey has still yet to take me.
- I need the retreat. I need the alone, but not the isolated. I need to let the me be free, more free than I’ve let myself be before. I have much to offer.
