Rohtak to Rio
Day 231 “You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all – the race to the egg.

Role Models
Day 226 “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.” – James Baldwin Follow your bliss.

Keep It Light
Day 225 “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life.
