Words from my heart, a rose from the desert …

Dear Maura

I am honored, humbled and truly blessed to have you as my empowerment mentor. I came across your book “She’s All Eyes” on your website – and I must say, my happiness quadrupled!

I was home-schooled most of my childhood and teenage years but I joined high school to complete my year 11 and 12. Yes, I was voted out ‘the quietest girl’. In my case, it was simply because, I absorb a lot of energy and information, and processing those takes time. I was and I am always vocal when critical issues arise, when leadership calls and when voice of a sufferer echoes on my ear!

I am ready to take this journey where mountains needs to be climbed, numerous rivers to cross; hopefully, together we can grow a garden in a desert and share our fruits of labor ;- )

There’s an Arabic saying that says “Write the bad things that happen to you on sand, but write the good things happen to you on a piece of marble.” I am surely going to write this experience on marble!

I hope to learn a lot from you and sincerely hope you find this journey equally exciting!

A big smile and a heartfelt hug ;- )
