The truest of words. Technology has its perks but the social decline because of cell phones alone is scary. I absolutely agree!

Mavis, it has taken some time for me feel comfortable speaking and living out loud but I had to realize that in order for change to begin, the change has to start with me. I’m grateful to God for this gift of being able to touch and reach others with my words and if you are the one person I’ve reached, I thank God especially for you! Thank you!

Mavis, your compliment to who am I as a human being is truly an honor to receive. My journey recognizes yours and to connect is beyond fate! Thank you so much!

“Your journey will be someone else’s roadmap.” Wow. That just lit a fire in me that I cannot yet describe to its fullest extent but that just gave me a reminder that this life we live isn’t just for us; it is to inspire and touch those around us too. Thank you so so much 🙏🏽

Lauren, your kind and encouraging words are always very much appreciated. I’ve spent too much time shying away from the resilient and string parts of me simply due to exhaustion and fear that if I exhibited those traits, I’d keep attracting things and situations I’d have to be resilient and strong for. However, I now realize these characteristics are just parts of me that should be viewed as gifts that I can share with the world, starting with you all. Thank you so much for embracing me just as I am.

‘One day at a time’, is what I tell myself now. The road was not easy and I still bump my head from time to time but the wisdom I’ve gained from all of the hardships is undeniable. Thanks so much for seeing me.

I truly appreciate your kind words. To finally feel seen/heard has done wonders for my confidence and I am extremely grateful for you and the community you’ve structured to be a safe space for anyone who can relate to what life’s battles does to a person. Thank you.
