I am a advocate for child abuse, mental health, and addiction. Its important to me to educate people on these very serious issues because it affects everyone.

There is a story of a Navajo grandfather who told his grandson, "Two wolves live inside me."
One is full of greed and laziness, jealousy and anger and regret. The other is full of joy and kindness and a love for the world. Always, these wolves are fighting inside me.
"But grandfather," the boy said, "which one will win?"
The grandfather answered, "the one I feed."
Another story:
"At high tide, thousands of starfish were stranded on the beach dying. A man starting throwing them back into the ocean one at a time. A woman came along and said, "What are you doing? There's too many of them. It's not going to make a difference." The man threw another starfish back into the ocean and said, "It made a difference to THAT one!"
