Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?
A year ago, I didn’t have a picture of how my life would be today.
I knew I had some major demons to face, turn myself inside out…so to speak.
I knew what I had to do…
The idiom: Open ‘Pandora’s Box’.
After facing the contents of the box, my picture today is:
‘HOPE‘
