Inspirational Quote by Lauren Nicolle Taylor
““I always thought strength came from within you, that it started there and ended there. It was of your own making. I was wrong. Strength is a gift placed inside you, built up by the people who love you. Fortified by the people who hate or threaten you. These are the things I will teach my son.””
