The house that haunts my dreams of starting over
In a labyrinth in the heart of a garden, I found a new purpose.
-

The hit song that opened my soul to the power of being a woman
I was in my teens when I first heard it, and it changed me forever.
-

I was a little girl in a flour-sack dress, but in my dreams, I soared
Sometimes, imagination can be the best escape.
-

Life in a women’s shelter taught me the meaning of hope and grace
In seeking refuge from the world outside, we found a way to be ourselves.
-

I’ll never forget the wonderful manager who helped me manage my life
She was there for me when I needed it most.
-

Little by little, I’m conquering my OCD and taking back control of my life
My quest for order was a symptom of a greater need.
