Excellent picture and prose Beth and so very true. I would add that we have to allow ourselves to go where we will as well. Sometimes we are our own worst limitation.
Just our “political climate” seems to show stunted growth in thinking and behavior. Didn’t mean to be negative while stressing a positive post, Beth! ❤ 🙂
I think for a time I was considered a weed, both at school and home. I think I’ve blossomed late, although recently my mum sincerely said she never doubted me.
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I want to grow like this.
