The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself.- Mark CaineThought of the day:October is Domestic Violence Awareness month, and today's affirmation is meant to give all victims of domestic violence the courage to rise above their circumstances, and do whatever is necessary to escape the terrible cycle that entraps women and men everywhere in violence. Breaking this cycle takes guts, and a strong will to survive. Take that first step, and seek help.Have an empowered day!TeamDS
