I am a huge believer in appreciating whatever you have in life. of making the best of it and of always being aware that there is always someone much worse off than you.

We all have our own journey & our own battles....
if I've learned anything, it's that no one's life is perfect.

I remain positive & determined and I always look forward.
We create our own luck & our own lives. 

I had a moment in my life, years ago, when I realised I was totally my own person & only I get to define myself - no one else does.

I became aware that I am the way I am in spite of my family & other challenges, not because of them.

My lot in life is a good one & I have much to be thankful for, I cannot possibly complain.
