Keep Going!
Believe in Yourself!
The above are Marie Curie's words
and (of course) she is quite right.
Marie was an unusual woman
who lived at a time
hen women were expected to get married,
have children,
live a quiet and obedient life.
I don't doubt she was 'obedient'
BUT
she 'swam against the norm'.
She did get married
BUT
'worked' through her life,
she became the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize,
she blazed the trail for cancer research today.
It makes me think:
"What am I doing with my life?"
Looking after our loved ones,
working every day,
taking care of ourselves
shows that we have
This Confidence and Perseverance
in our own lives.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.
