How did I spend so much of my life, hell maybe the majority of my life, letting other people’s lies about my (lack of) inherent worth and value be the foundation upon which I built my life?!?
How did I finally begin to break free of their lies?…
How can I help others find their way to freedom from the cancer of unloving, toxic people?…
“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
