Looking back at the place from which I began, I want to answer honestly and without any comedic fashion this morning. This isn’t a question to just toss a witty retort at, in my humble opinion. I believe that every human heart desires to leave something good behind, something they feel proud to have contributed to those that follow. Even if we know that we may never be an Elon Musk or an Einstein, we still want better for our future generations and have many life experiences that bear remembering, for wisdoms sake.

Personally, I’ve had enough life experiences that don’t bear remembering, for wisdoms sake. It was ugly, dark, and sad… fostering a life that had to play the game with a crooked rule book! Even after all the fallout of my beginnings, after all the train wreck mistakes I made… trying to bring some form of usefulness and purpose out of my history, still holds value within my heart and mind.

My hope and prayer is that whomever looks at my life, or reads about it, takes away one small and important truth of me… I always get back up! God has given me the strength to carry on, to wipe off life’s dirt and debri… some of which I picked up and rubbed in my own face.

There may not be much worth writing about in the annals of History, regarding the valiant deeds of Wiwohka, but it will say that she refused to quit… she just would NOT stop getting back up!

My belief in the One who created me has given wings to a spirit once pinned to the ground by fear, doubt, self loathing, anger and shame. No longer does it matter who did what to whom and why… for me, what matters is the getting back up…

Here, have a flower to brighten your Monday… hugs
