I am she who fights in front. Neither watching from the back nor dictating how to lead from afar, but thrusting myself to the front lines of the challenges I face and determined to do all that I can to prepare myself for the battles to come. After all, I could never request favors of […]

Don’t Let Your Dreams Be Dreams

How much wasted time is spent dreaming about the possibilities of the future instead of waking up and living it? The time is going to pass regardless, shouldn’t it be spent pursuing our goals, no matter what our age or life circumstances? A whole entire brand new year is upon us, and a wise man […]

Does this title offend you? Good, then we’re on the right track.

I will not quit, not ever. In life, on the mats, in a fight, I won’t ever stop. All the eyes watching me, whether rooting for me or secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) hoping I fail, they will never see me give up. Either I finish and wind up victorious, or I lose after […]
