We are given certain things in life, things we cannot change, just like cards we are dealt. The color of our skin, the first language we learn, who our parents are and what trauma do they carry. Some of these things blessings. Others? Not so much.

Though beginnings can never be changed, bad ones can be compensated for. They can be overcome. A woman with scars is still a woman. My fate is what I was given at the beginning of my life, and my destiny is where I find it.

All things are new, all things are fascinating. Laughter is easy, so are tears. An open heart, an open mind. A willingness to explore, to risk, to learn. Mostly joy. Waking up with excitement sometimes just like Christmas morning. And love. The capacity to love with the full heart, love down to the bones. Try to live as a child as much as you can. Be childlike, not childish. And listen, and see, and taste & touch & smell. Anything is possible.
