To be mundane and poor is the curse of life!
I try to view the challenges in my life not as annoyances, but as confirmations of fortitude.
Can you see me? Can you hear me? Does anything I say mean anything to you?
What's wrong with the world and what can we do to change it?
I would say that during the time that I was 14 and pregnant - I didn't even know what pregnancy was when I got pregnant - I was trying to do everything I could to harm myself. I said to God, "God, if you want me to die, then you're going to have to kill me".
Every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.
