Special Scars ~ Special Women

"We are still birthing women. We still have opinions, fears, and most of all, voices.
A different scar isn't going to suddenly determine where we go and what we do."

Scars remind us where we've been.
They don't have to dictate where we're
going. It's a shallow life that doesn't give
a person a few scars.
