activist on a mission to initiate change

now she's asleep, tucked soundly into my bed with a small mountain of sheets and blankets keeping her warm until I crawl in next to her with my body heat. When she's laying still I find great peace in being alongside her whispering about life's mysteries in her ear while she sleeps. In less than 3 weeks, my daughter will be 12 years old. Oh, how we've grown up together really.

I was reminded today by someone that as a child I faced some traumas. I'd like to think that with all the labels I allow myself to have put on me, that victim has never been one of them. I've overcome many obstacles to be a survivor and a conqueror; to achieve the success today that I have.
