Transformative Summer
The summer of 2006 was a unique, internal and transformative life sentence for me. And for individuals coming from broken homes lacking compassion and love, the possibilities for success are endless even if the light cannot be seen at first. There is a difference between right and wrong, good and bad, happy and sad. These differences may not be recognized at first but with an abrupt change in ones daily routine, these differences can be made out to be the difference between life and death, rich or poor and success and disparity. It is truly amazing what three months time can achieve for ones perspective on life. For me, three months was all it took for me to gain a sense of self and of belonging. I set goals and made dreams come true. I developed optimism and gratitude for the simplest of things like appreciating a leaf fall from a tree on a frigid fall evening. In just three months I went from a depressing life of destitute and poverty to acquiring a profound and rich life of bliss and internal security. It is truly amazing how transformations have the ability to take place even with a seventeen-year old girl who knew nothing more than despair, poverty and abuse. Change can happen.
