I looked in my closet and found myself in the darkness of blacks and browns. <br />But then a hint of glitter caught my eye and I glanced down and saw my purple sequined shoes shining up at me. <br />I suppose that is my inner boldness. <br />I believe that <i>you </i>have boldly made a difference in the lives of many. And that is hardly conventional. lyndagracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530605081989558341noreply@blogger.com
