Be ready. Be willing to take that scary step. Be bold. Be brave to let them see inside. Write about the dark stuff, the pain, the tears, the fears. Write about the light stuff, the joy, the laughter, tears. Write about the beauty of a child?s bright morning smile. Write about relationships and how we view our lives.
