The race may be around the track, it may be in school, it may be in the workplace. Who or what determines a winner? The one who finishes first? Gets the scholarship? Or gets the raise? A true winner knows the victor lies in the effort put forth towards the goal. During the race, people may pass by and look – smile as they do.



Hold on. Hold on for dear life. People are fragile things. When there is damage, we mend, we become stronger. Like bones which snap in two, emotions do the same. Happy. Sad. Determined. Defeated. Lay the feelings on a table for the world to see and look at the pieces. Analyze and rebuild to become whole again.
