I am,

indeed,

a king,

because, I know how to

rule myself.

Pietro Aretno, May 10, 1537.

Quoted from: http://quotegarden.com/integrity.html

Two people that have been an inspiration recently, to me, are-

Amanda Lindhout and Jaycee Dugard

Both ladies refuse to live their lives as victims.

Lindhout recently returned to Somalia to continue her goal of helping people there.

Dugard has published a book, and continues to move forward in her life. Recently, she has been on a speaking tour, describing how she refused to accept the role, or label, of "victim".

These two ladies are proof positive that one person can make a difference.

Thank you for your help, ladies!
