I decided to put this together because I miss the quote sharing I used to do on social media. I left the SM cesspool a few years ago and I ain’t going back to it.
Enjoy!

An excerpt from my article: “Being Real: Reaching the Summit of Self-empowerment.”
“In my mind’s eye, I always see the height of self-empowerment as the top of a mountain. When you begin your ascent by getting real with yourself and the world it is treacherous because you don’t know what unforeseen dangers lay ahead. Eventually after much work, pain, soul searching and disapproval from others, you will reach that pinnacle. From there you’ll feel peaceful, not caring about what others may think of you. Life’s challenges may cause you to stumble and fall a few feet but if you are committed to yourself you will climb back up again and again. Look down – see how far you’ve come. The price you paid for your integrity was worth every penny.”
