Women Who Inspire
I Inspire ME When I first saw this essay contest I immediately thought about who I might write about. As the founder of 4WARDMVMT- a personal branding company for female athletes, I know I would not be the women I am today without the inspiration from so many outstanding women in my life. I thought about who I might shine a light on for their outstanding impact on my life, but after some much needed reflection I decided that the person I needed to write about most and the person I often forget to pay homage to in this journey is ME. As I dive into the depth of ME, you will understand the many women that I pay homage to, as every fiber of my being is fused together because of them. Let’s begin.

Mother
Maturity I oftentimes wonder what kind of a person I will grow up to be. I am 25 years old, and I am way too young to say “I am a mature person”. In fact, I don’t know any person, regardless of how old or young they may be whom I would consider mature. Maturity seems illusive to me. The wisest of men (and women, of course) have downfalls. Not simply I think of immaturity as a flaw; sometimes I wonder if embracing the immaturity we all share is a key to life. Being mature seems to me to be the point after which the whole process turns into decay. There are other ways to look at maturity, I am sure; however different they are from mine doesn’t make mine less valid.

Filling Up The Hole In My Soul
Have you ever had everything and felt like you had nothing? Have you ever felt down in your gut a void that seemed like a bottomless pit? Have you ever had a hunger or a thirst that you couldn’t satisfy? You could never get enough. You have a hole in your soul.

WOMEN WHO INSPIRE
Who is the woman who has inspired me the most in taking back control of my life? There is an infinite amount of friends, colleagues, family members, as well as acquaintances who have inspired me throughout my life. Deciding which one of these inspiring women had the most profound impact on who I am today is a difficult task as there are so many who had contributed to how and when I took my power back. At the emotional expense of determining which woman wins the title, I will share my very personal and inspiring story with every one of you.

Grow During A Lockdown.
If you're not making progress in one facet of your life while you're locked up.. then you're failing yourself. There's plenty of people out there who complain that they don't have the time to do this or that, because they're too busy working or going to school and they're tired once they finally get finished with everything. That's understandable.

To all the woman
When I look in the mirror I often jump from different feminine faces when I am reaching for confidence within myself. My sisters, those women are also the faces of the women who I often have my shadow self slap me right in the face. I have never been more grateful in my life for all of those women. From every end of the spectrum and from the time I came out of my mothers womb.

Journey to Self
“Love many. Trust few. Always paddle your own canoe." These were words that my dad wrote in my memory book as I transitioned from junior to senior high school. The year was 1968. Fifty years later, I was just beginning to truly understand how those words had entered into my spirit and shaped my personality. I learned to love many. I also learned to trust no one. And my independence, or rather my attempts at paddling my own canoe, alienated me from the one thing I'd always craved - unconditional acceptance and appreciation.

the chrysalis is now - an applause
a transitional state, how to emerge from emergency, from crisis to chrysalis? i’ve always fantasised about the apocalypse but now that the veil upon us is lifting and uncovering the truths, surrealism sets in. i play the role of the helpless healer; with my two hands how much energy can i create to cradle the whole world? not enough, and i must be aware not to drain myself. i remind myself that my hands can build and my hands can love, and my hands can hold hands with others virtually, and together we can all try to cradle each other, even 6ft apart.

Meaning of 'Don't Throw the Baby Out With the Bathwater'
We have heard many proverbs. They are wise sayings that express a truth based on common sense that tell us what to do and warn us of things not to do. We might say some proverbs without knowing the meaning or origin of them. We say them just because we hear others say them.
