Please tell Ludima that she is simply beautiful and to keep up the great work that she is doing as well as to keep on setting the example that dreams do come true, if you have the persistence and the faith to keep going. Don't quit and Don't give up are two of my principle beliefs. Persistence is necessary if you want to keep climbing higher and higer. <br />Thank you for this very inspiring article.<br />Ciao,<br />PatriciaPat Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04204650731843984192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6590699484148529190.post-24085167900432363412012-06-10T14:08:58.601-04:002012-06-10T14:08:58.601-04:00It really is encouraging.
