I write tonight because I have made one of my many unknowns a "known". It still takes me by surprise every time I think about it but also have a reassurance that it is what I need to do. I have decided(yes... decided) not to dance this last year at BYUI. I love to dance. I always will. It has burrowed a place into my heart, but as I was driving to the Temple this morning I knew what needed to be done. Seriously an answer I have been praying for! I am scared in a very thrilling way and who knows... maybe I will not depend on other things so much. Maybe this is the time to really rediscover Kate with out the basics she has always had. A time to learn new things, to try new things, to "see the world" in a different way.
I am not going to write until school starts. I feel like I write and write maybe a little too much. But I am heading up to Oregon so can't anyways. Hope everyone is having a lovely end to a beautiful summer! Love you all.

-Raspberries come in many colors besides red: there are also black, purple and gold raspberries.
-Raspberries belong to the genus Rubus, which is a part of the Rose family. Cultivated raspberries have been derived mainly from two species, the wild red raspberry (Rubus ideaus) and black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis). Purple type is a cross between the black and red raspberry, and yellow type is a mutant red raspberry.
-Raspberries are a very healthy food; they are high in fiber and Vitamin C and naturally have no fat, cholesterol or sodium. They are also a good source of iron and folate (which is used especially in treatment of low red blood cells or anemia).
-Raspberries contain a natural substance called ellagic acid, which is an anti-carcinogenic (cancer-preventing) compound.
-Raspberry tea was said to be a cure for dysentery during the Civil War. During outbreaks of dysentery, temporary truces were declared to allow both Union and Confederate soldiers to "go raspberrying" to forgage for raspberries to ward off the disease.
-Raspberries were enjoyed by the ancient Greeks, who believed them to be a cure for diseases of the mouth and throat, as well as a preventative against many ailments, including gout.
-The raspberry leaf was also used as an early hair dye, having been recommended by Culpeper, the English herbalist, to be boiled in a lye solution in order to "maketh the hair black".
-Researchers have known for quite some time that berries contain antioxidants which help to fight cancer causing free radicals. A study at the University of Ohio has found that black berries are the most potent cancer fighting berries of them all, by nearly 40 percent!
-There are over 200 species of raspberries.
-Raspberries can be grown from the Arctic to the equator.

Poetry night with Nancy and Kathleen
My eyes are open and opening still
You close your mouth but still... hear the sound
I'm not pretending
I'm hidden deep
Sunken, shadowed... swallowed whole
Ha ha! I laugh everytime I think about "poetry night." I was on my way back to Kathleens apt. and was talking to her on the phone. I asked her what she was doing and she told me she was writing a poem. I asked her if it was by candle light and she replied saying no. Well I got to her apt. and no lights were on. Just candle light. :) Nancy was there and began to write a poem so I quickly dropped my things wrote for about 30 seconds and that is what came out. ha ha... We all had to read ours outloud and had to explain why we wrote it. It was funny and really really great. I love em!

Laura,
A hug when in darkness is the light that makes our path dear and gives strength to take the first step.

Every question I randomly picked -A,B,C, or D. So by chance I got that score. How much of what others get on tests is really by chance or for real. This is just one reason I believe that grades are not everything. Sometimes I think people get "status" for their grades and such but some times that really just doesn't matter.
