I wanted to add the reason for my background for this blog; It is a newly sprung seedling (not sure what plant/tree it is...) but for me, it symbolizes growth and change, both of which I am experiencing...and from time to time may comment on in this blog...but the main inspiration for it is the earlier post about the OKC bombing and my friend...
He reminded me of the Survivor Tree, an American Elm Tree in downtown OKC that survived the bomb's blast and having been on fire. I hear people can get seeds/saplings from this beautiful tree, and that to me is a great symbol of survival, recovery and growth...something that the people of Oklahoma City and the nation have shown we are capable of...a beautiful thing :)
