"Eleven years ago this month, I started relearning how to read, write and speak better English when I was lacking the self-confidence due to childhood traumas.

Just self-belief changed everything for me.

I saw the new page of my life, where I was going with the new leaf and things I’m going to do.

The cardinal in life is imagination.

I’m sure The Creator of the world had an image of the world before She started creating it.

I imagine myself being interviewed and motivating children. Most of the things I imagine are coming through.

Thanks go to everyone who had one way or the other corrected or taught me a word or two. I’m still learning though so, corrections are still welcoming.

Imagination + practice = creation!

We have no limitations the only thing that limits us is our mind."
