and see the OPEN YOUR truth EYES 60 Archive by Mullica Zudsiri
This archive is a collection of 60 things in which I found that makes my life incredibly blessed or different from someone else who, simply by chance, was not granted the same opportunities due to race, gender, or financial status. Whether it was simply access to a resource I often take for granted or the freedom to express myself how I choose and make decisions for myself, the information I found opened my eyes. I am now sharing this information with the hopes that it too will make you realize all the wonderful things that occur in your life and no matter how terrible you may think things are going, take time to realize just one thing that you have that you take for granted.
