Your words have power, choose them well!

NEGATIVE STEREOTYPING hurts everyone and says something ugly about those who do it.

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

Life is a journey, not a destination. What would life be like without challenges, OBSTACLES and adventure? Perhaps safe and secure, but how much growth and self development would we experience?
