“People get ready – There’s a train a-coming.” ― Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions
Persistence, tenacity – doggedness. This is how I got my bachelor degree; 12 years of night school working full time, no debt. A decade of therapy to overcome denial and shame for things that weren’t my fault. Twenty-six years as a corporate salmon swimming up the patriarchal stream.
There are more like me. We know how to persevere. We know what “to persist” means.
Yes – “people get ready … there’s a train a-coming” and I’m on board.

“When I see people stand fully in their truth, or when I see someone fall down, get back up, and say, “Damn. That really hurt, but this is important to me and I’m going in again”—my gut reaction is, “What a badass.” ― Brené Brown, Rising Strong
Wonderful!
