And I hear the great white bear continue to lie

You cannot shoot it

Nor can you electrocute it

The Lockdown Journal

We are all here for each other.

You are a woman and that is your power!

Who are you? You are the sunshine and the dark night, a tempest and the gentle spring. You are every colour of the rainbow. Hold your head high, wear your crown with grace and remember, you are enough. You are worth it. You are a woman, and that is your power!
