“Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give away.” – Barbara De Angelis

It’s 11 : 56 AM on day 2372 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Samuel 22: 4 and learn a new word – Definitions for heart-whole 1.not in love.
2. wholehearted; sincere.

This morning I was laying on my bed quietly reflecting on the almost twenty-six years of my life and unsurprisingly I found out that it’s the people I’ve met and the experiences that I’ve had along the way that mean the most to me (life really isn’t about things or money it’s about the connections we create with others and their stories that become woven with ours – I will never forget the man who thought to donate to one of my campaigns in the midst of grieving the loss of his wife and raising two young sons or the university student who somehow always has the money to help me make a difference (these people and many others are forever a part of my story and I am forever grateful to be a small part of theirs)).
