Lessons

To me healing is being truly honest with yourself & accepting & forgiving yourself. Being able to find a way to release the pain of the past. Give yourself a break. Love is what matters.

What Hope Means to Me
Hope is a beacon of light in the midst of darkness, a guiding star that takes us through life's toughest challenges. For me, hope has become an anchor, grounding me through the stormy seas of my journey. After being healed of AIDS, hope took on a new and profound meaning in my life.

I Thought My Body Wasn't my Own
