Do We Want Kids Free and Responsible Or Unfree And Obedient?
People are usually confused about freedom. They think it's a situation in which you do whatever you want, to whomever you want, without boundaries or caring about the consequences. So, they (unintentionally) train their kids to be obedient, trapped in behavioral molds, and moved by stereotypes. They prefer it this way, instead of letting children remain free (as they come to this world). Because they forget, or they don't know the one thing that could teach them to "use" freedom well: Responsibility.

Inner Heroes For Humanity . Runner-Up in We Have a Dream Challenge.
The steps I'm going to take in 2022 to foster kindness and inclusivity is to bring my 501(c)(3) homeless foundation to Nashville, Tennessee. The foundation is called, "Inner Heroes for Humanity." My foundation involves walking the streets of the inner city and engaging with people that are homeless. I hand out nutritional snacks, water, and most importantly, my time listening and understanding the stories of those who are at ground zero. After experiencing constant cycles of severe depression myself, I attained the skills and strategies to help those rise from ground zero into being heroes. I’ve been a personal trainer for 9 years. I have a fitness business called, “Inner Eye Fitness LLC.” I train clients who are suffering from depression and anxiety as well as bringing my techniques to those experiencing homelessness. My dream is to bring my foundation to every city across the United States. I've already brought my foundation to Chicago, Illinois. Now, it's time to step into the unknown, take a leap of faith, and bring my skills to Nashville, Tennessee.

Why don't you talk?
As I approached the age of about ten, I had been operating on a set of rules for myself. These rules were rigid, and essential, in order to survive in the social world. I added to my list of rules over the years approaching high school age. By then, I had a pretty solid 'list' in place.

Motherhood & Mental Health, how they go hand-in-hand.
As a first time writer, but not a first time mama, I sit here while my two extremely precious boys nap on this rainy day. All day today, we have spent most of our time cooped up in our “tiny home” a.k.a our camper. Whilst we are in the process of selling our home, and taking new life adventures head on, my sweet hard working husband and I have decided to find alternative ways to earn some extra income, and also new ways express ourselves. I came across this website, Vocal, where it just called to me. I have never been a writer or author, but I have a very creative mind. And to add, I have ALOT in my mind.

If not for you.
I guess it started when I looked in the mirror and I thought, I am my Mother. I think every young woman goes through a similar experience. Although, the reaction most of the time is ‘Oh dear, I am my Mother’, but in my case ‘I am my Mother - and I'm cool with that’. From the subtle lines appearing on the sides of my face that perfectly resemble hers, to my crooked hairline and dainty fingers that look like they could do magic. I’ve been shaped and moulded by her existence. Today is her birthday, 55 years old and she is still the most beautiful woman I know.
