Wow what a list! I think the topic of Personal Power is so important. I feel that there are so many things that have the illusion of “taking our power away”, when the truth is we are the only ones that can.

“What if everyone KNEW the power they posses?”

“What if we helped others feel empowered?”

“What if we stepped into our power and the moment right NOW?”
