sometimes i think about the way things could have been.
where i could have gone to school,
what i could have studied,
where i could have traveled,
where i could have lived.
but i wonder if by doing those things,
i would wonder what i could have become,
just by doing what i have already.
I am the product of an amazing family of strong, independent women.
This last week saw the passing of my great-grandmother Sills.
I am so honored to be her descendant and to have been so blessed by the lives she created and touched.
I am who I am because of the women she raised, and for that I am so grateful.
Thank you.
