Not that that's a bad thing but I became dependent on it, to the point where I was always indecisive. Now, I'm learning what it means to make my own path & to have the courage to follow. It's one thing to think outside the box, but it takes courage to act on it. <br /><br />Side Note: It was roughly 4 million slaves that were freed. I know that b/c of a speech I memorized in high school...Henry Highland Garnett's 'Call to Rebellion' ;-)<br /> <br />peace & blessingsNichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18304990594181411423noreply@blogger.com
