Every great dream begins like a balloon.
It's filled with hope
and the drive to reach for the stars
takes them to higher ground
until they magically pop,
and become our reality.
-Chloe Burke

This has been a long road up and I am where I am because of the bridges I've
crossed created by my ancestors, my family, my friends, my educators, and
ultimately the health of my community. On the climb I've managed to make
my own mistakes, learn some lessons for the crossing, dare to be tne fool, and
understand the necessity of gifting opportunity. Like a pedestrian I must keep
walking, and although the passage has been wonderful it's my time to freely wonder.

Thank you for the walks, jogs, and runs.
