I think Holly is one of the sweetest people here at newsvine. She is clean and fresh and has what I call real innocence and by that I do not mean naive. Holly is smart and fun. I always look forward to reading her articles. Her ability to love comes out so clear to me in this mean hard place of cyber world.
The hardest thing to do ...is opening up to anyone, especially not knowing how some will react. Remember; courage is not the lack of fear...
You're a courageous lady, thank you for sharing!
