“As we tend to our spirits, enlightenment dawns”

“I knew that I could make a difference in the world, one bold stroke at a time.”

“I cannot run forever. Sometimes, just sometimes, I have to face the things that I am running from, without fear, and that will free me from them.”

"but as my body grows, / so does my mind."

“Somehow, though, there was a chapter slowly closing all the pain to allow me to acknowledge myself, the anger now the knowledge of my experience.”

“But when the interview was long over and there was no longer any pressure on me to deliver a neat answer; when I was in bed tossing, turning, and poring over the minute details of my day; when I had seemingly all the time in the world as the night stretched before me, I still had trouble hitting the bullseye. Almost like I didn’t know myself — like there was a schism of the self.”

"I killed my hair to revive my spirit."

Placing the power to define your identity in the hands of others only makes you a prisoner to their definition.

I’m relearning how to love and honor my inner voice and spirit; I’m reprogramming the negative thought patterns and destructive self-talk that triggers self-doubt to rear it’s ugly head.

The most important search of my life…

Who knows, your greatest weakness might turn out to be your strongest motivation!
