Making the world a better place

-

Let's keep it simple.  The last few years have been a struggle but it's also something else we forget to acknowledge.  

It's taught all of us what we value, the freedom to live simply. 

We can make a change, it is within us even in fear.  

Take a moment to give empathy, to listen and make a change for the whole world, not just your community, your country but all for a better place.  

Living in fear is not an answer, take that step outside and try some of the following..

Life has a way of challenging us in ways we never expect, but those very challenges can become the catalysts for our greatest transformations. For so long, I was living in the shadow of my past — a past where I felt small, powerless, and without a clear path forward. But then, I was given the greatest gift of all: my first son. He became my reason to rise, to be better, to create a future I never had but so desperately wanted for him. In his eyes, I saw not just the love of a child but the reflection of the woman I could become.  Then, years later another son who I saw that taught me resilience. In the years that followed, life tested me in ways that felt unbearable. From moments of violence to living in fear, I endured and tried to make a home for my children. I believed that in the darkest times, I was simply surviving. I didn't know how to escape the cycle, and I didn't believe I was strong enough to stand up for myself. But deep down, I always knew that I had a choice — tha...

Deep breath, it’s okay.

I know, it’s been tough lately.  I saw you take a deep breath and want to not speak.  They came up to you and started asking questions.  Your inner child wanted to run and hide but you said all you wanted, which wasn’t much but you did it.   Your trust level is low today and the faith you have in others wavers. I want you to know something though…  Not everyone is the same as those who hurt you.  Not everyone wants to take from you but some, want to give.  Some want to love and accept you.   It’s okay.  Take that deep breath.  You’ve gone through some difficult times but those moments gave you the fortitude to become resilient.  You’ve got this love.  It’s going to be okay.

Our tool boxes, with gratitude

Today, I had the unexpected joy of reconnecting with a friend I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade. We shared stories of where life had taken us, catching up on the new chapters that had unfolded. Last time we saw each other, I was in the midst of a major life transformation. We talked about our kids and how we use the lessons from our own lives to help them become stronger, wiser, and better than we were. As I shared my story with her, I realized how far I’ve come. After years of being in unhealthy relationships, I have finally vowed to put myself first. This moment of self-recognition was a long time coming, and I was amazed at the inner strength I felt as I spoke my truths. It gave me a sense of pride I had longed for. Reflecting back to when I was a young girl, I remember the abuse I endured for years. At 16, I found the courage to press charges and leave everything behind, stepping into the unknown of a foster home. I often think—where did that fortitude come from? Maybe it was the de...
