…not because I published a successful accidental impactful book

…not because I bought a beautiful new house

…not because I landed my dream job

…not because I gave a powerful TEDx talk

…not because I am finally speaking up and becoming a voice for so many of us

…not because I am finally listened to after being told to shut up for most of my life

All of the above are fabulous indeed and I am very grateful for them but…

My year was wonderful because I am simply ALIVE ! ! !

…because a simple piece of paper is giving me the *permission* to live on and see my babies grow

We are all alive together and adversities are inevitable but you too can be happy after hell.

Realise that your own self value can only come from within

Try not to get bitter at the world

Look for that little positive in the overall negative
