"When I was a small child, my mother shared with me how she
loved a particular flower, the crocus.

She pointed to a small flower, poking its head through the snow, and
told me it was a crocus.  She told me that a crocus can bloom no
matter how adverse the conditions, whether through snow or rocks.  
My mother told me that I, too, could be like that crocus.  No matter
what I faced in my life, I could bloom.

My mother told me,
'A crocus can bloom in the most adverse
conditions, so too can you!
'

Little did I realize how important that conversation would become to
me later in life.  I experienced the devastation of domestic violence
and stalking.  However, I remembered my mother's words and
chose to bloom in the most adverse circumstances.  So can you!
