On a journey of healing inwardly (the soul & spirit) and outwardly (physical self & community). Struggling with emotional pain, and trying to create a fresh, new, and loving life for myself despite my issues. Sharing love, kindness, and my goal is to inspire strength and empowerment with others... Being a flower in Baha'u'llah's garden!

O SON OF SPIRIT! Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created. -Baha'u'llah
