You asked the perfect questions that offered Ti the opportunity to show what she's really made of.<br /><br />And you don't have to shamelessly self-promote; you do an excellent job with what you are doing.

It was fascinating going back and forth and learning so much from you. Passion, that's what it's all about! No matter what you do as long as you feel something for it (well ahem, as long as you're not hurting other people while doing it)... <br /><br />@Brian - thank you for dropping by!

It is good to be a part of a network of strong, independent, active, creative women who 'fly with their own wings'. Exploring the nuances of what drives us to do what we do and do it well- that is the stuff that should be passed along, shared with others and carried forward.<br /><br />Though each one of us carries a passion for different sport(s), we are all so much the same, foundationally. <br /><br />One step at a time, one decision at a time, we move forward, onward, upward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
