I'm told that these Christmas tree worms bore into the coral and pop away inside when they feel threatened.

Me too, once upon time, but not so much anymore.

I let things go. People, ideas, mistakes...

I've always made things happen. Not always dramatic and exotic things, but I take risks, I step out on my own, I stand my ground, create, learn, build strength.

I make it possible for others to do, I provide, encourage, fund...

I do, I don't wait, never have.

This took me a long time to see, to believe.

I push through and I've plenty to show for it.

Sometimes it takes a long time to relax and come out of the coral, to step out and face up to my ability to make it happen.

There are a few people who don't see it in me, but they don't know me, they only thought they did.

I might bore my way into hole, but I pop out again.
