Fear and Loving in CHI-cago

I lo-lo-love...
connecting with people that accept and value me not in spite of my flaws but because of them.
soulful lady jams.
real honest-to-goodness homemade jam and jelly.
those who ARE ready for all this jelly.
moments when I can feel the love I have for myself.
growing my brain [many thanks to TED talks].
remembering that hope is never ever really gone.


I fear...
being stuck under the weight of myself.
never knowing freedom.
lack of connection.
lack of passion.
lack of mobility.
not loving or accepting myself just as I am.
an avocado shortage.
forgetting laughter.
