I want to hear you be brave ...



I borrowed a quote from a blogger friend 
- someone who has endured and persevered through an exceedingly tough year
and in doing so, realized something about herself:
she is one tough broad!



I'm guessing that on some level she already knew she was pretty tough, she just didn't expect it to prevail in her current situation.  But that is the beauty of human spirit - when life has you nailed to the wall, buckled at the knees, gasping for understanding and acceptance -
there is that inner strength that wills you to fight back, to rise above, to survive.

  8. The images are beautiful, but your words hit right to the heart, Yes, I do believe that the human spirit begs us to fight when we are down, we just have to be silent long enough to hear it.

  11. ps - thanks for the kind comment today on my post. We are heading back to my home for this coming holiday. But I know we will have to come back here and that is what makes it really hard. I want to stay and my kids want to stay. My husband hates it there . . . it is tough.

  12. Nicki,
    I like your thoughts; your heartfelt words are so true. We all face hard times and often find we are stronger and more capable than we could imagine.

    Your photos are gorgeous.
