17th of May Blog update

I was honoured to be asked to write a “Hero story” of my journey for the www.awakeningheroes.org website. It is turning out to be a tougher task than I thought 😀 I see great value in the website, and I hope my story will encourage others, who have faced struggles in their life, which in one way or another, is most of us.

But these are a small struggles we build in our heads, and even though it has taken me bit longer than I thought, I am determined to get it done 😉 So keep an eye on this space.
