A kidney stone, coupled with an infection has set me back five days – two trying to soldier through the pain, and three pursuing medical answers. Anyway, I’m on the mend, tired already of this foray into self-pity. Tomorrow, I keep telling myself, is a new day. (Image my own)

I couldn’t agree more VJ. I have always been amazed by her courage and conviction, and inspired by the thought that one supposedly ‘simple’ act could spark huge change. I love what you said about praying for “the courage to step beyond the limitations of [our] own prejudices that [we] may become an empowering force.”
