The lesson that I have learned from Lesa Kabrich, both professionally and personally as a wiser woman and counselor than I, is simple: do not let fear keep you from taking the road less traveled by, no matter how rocky and curvy it may seem.
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost (first and last stanzas)
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Lesa bravely took her own road in life and all of the roads that have intersected with hers are better roads because of it. I miss you, my sweet friend. ~Ashley Wall
