A plant bears from the fecundity of the soil in which it takes root. Our progenitors are the original farmers and we their crop. It was up to them to nurture and protect us, but broken people are want and often sow their bitterness into the trough.

Blige titled, “Take Me As I Am,” I was recovering from a life long addiction to personal and work relationships in which I allowed myself and my talents to be undervalued and unappreciated.
