From the depths of her soul, inner strength would rise and become her rock foundation. I was shy and unsure of myself when I was young, but as a woman, I blossomed and became strong and independent. Through my illnesses, I stayed strong. I have been knocked down, but get up time and time again. … Continue reading Depths of her soul
