You made it okay for me to post that picture. I was struggling with the fear that it would come off as arrogant. Somehow I want to be an inspiration to others, but it is tough to know how when my intent gets all mixed up with my own insecurities, and my own arrogance. I don't know if anyone can understand that and I struggle to explain it. I am proud of my accomplishments and I want to tell the world what can be done, but at the same time I know that the best way to inspire is quietly, through action, not words....and/or pictures. But from the insecurities side, I still look for validation of my own worth. And all that sounds totally contradictory to me!
