Oh Missy...could you have written something more dear to my heart? "Of all writings I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit." How am I just now finding that quote? That is amazing! And...you know...I was thinking about this earlier today...even when you do localism posts...you can write with passion.
