Soulfulness of a Gullah Girl

The utterance of expressions with bold soulful words

allows me to be free.

I am on my way to reaching my destiny,

finding my purpose with passion and boldness.

This journey has taken me to the mountain top and valley low.

I am finding my voice and freedom to be me,

making myself vulnerable for all to see.

Living without fear and dreaming without limits

Is what I desire.

In my quiet moments of solitude with my deepest thoughts

I give thanks to the Lord above for my humble and blessed life.

To whom much is given, much is required.

Through my Soulful words

I give hope. I uplift.

I inspire and I motivate.
