Hello, beautiful people, and hello, beautiful world!
Thank you for stopping by. I’m excited to have you here for a little while. Wherever you are and whoever you are: YOU’RE WELCOME!
At this time of the year, many people, myself included, are excitedly busy: they’re buying presents or having a great time with friends and loved ones. It’s Christmas, and holiday spirits are all around.
On the other end of the spectrum, millions of people do without shelter, food, freedom, healthcare and education. They aren’t thinking about their 2018 New Year’s resolutions, because they can’t fathom anything in their lives time beyond surviving. Being at the top of the pyramid of human existence might seem an impossible dream — to have desires beyond their own realm feels like forbidden fruit. The potential to help them lies in the actions we can take every day of our lives.
Over the years, I’ve been taking tiny steps toward one of my own dreams, even though I came from a world where young girls and women were treated like they don’t matter and are nothing. I’ve been blessed with a book contract, which I signed in 2017.
