To bare ourselves with printed words takes courage. Here’s to one of the most courageous and beautiful people, Margaret Meps Shulte!

â€œThe most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.â€
â€• Elisabeth KÃ¼bler-Ross

I was blessed with a lady who said, “Pain is part of life, but suffering is optional” exactly when I needed it.

You’re right, suffering is optional–but not in the beginning. I wish for you a beautiful and creative 2014. The hardest part is over.
