Minding My Purpose
When I dream, I dream in color. I don’t waste my time minding other people’s business, because I’m too busy minding my purpose. Every trial and every tribulation has led me back to myself. My life experiences are mirrors, reflecting for others the truth that hope is always possible.
Emotional Resonance Leads to Peace
My vision is clear, I see can see whats in front of me because I designed my course. The paths I have taken were sometimes new roads, and my hard won experience gave birth to a new journey. A journey back to me. I serve in my community because my life depends on it!
