Be yourself today in whatever ways you are able. Breathe in and out because you are part of our universe. Experience each wave of emotion as a necessary reminder of being alive and being human. We need you here 💜

As Abby Wambach said, “they are scared of you because you are free and freedom is contagious.”

Abusers want control, but the truth is they can never take your soul from you.

We’ve got dictators and predators in power, we’ve got a crisis of human rights and growing authoritarianism and fascism, we’ve got bad news all the time, but the oppressors can’t take who we are from us. We are storytellers, joy makers, survivors, helpers, humanitarians, hopers, grievers, resisters.

Thank you so much for reading the book!
