I've been through a lot, like you, I'll bet - and I've learned that you have to set your imagination free. Allow yourself to pretend, to let parts of yourself shine in the light, and remember your value not just as someone who serves the needs of your family or community, but also as someone who is amazing and juicy and crazy-fabulous all on your own. 

I want to be a catalyst, to awaken and sensitize people to the wonder that's all around them and inside of them every day.
