DETAILS ABOUT THE JOURNEY
Why is the topic so important?
What we do in our everyday experiences brings about important life lessons. We’re living inside the topic each day we inhale anew breathe. In These days and times, toxicity has settled in the environment. Just think about it: every day we wake up we’re on the battlefield fighting a war. And just feeling where there’s: good against evil; sons against fathers; daughters against mothers; nations against nations; drugs against diseases; and the list goes on and on.

Over three decades, Norstrom has unmasked the levels of relationships:
pain; abuse; emotions, diseases; work environments; trauma;
and its poison of unforgiveness. In the artistic world, it is those literary creations that demonstrate a measure of personal growth that magnifies those hurdles conquered - from darkness to survival, even her release from incarceration.
While growing and blossoming, she has maintained a healthier lifestyle . . . staying free of unhealthy relationships. Through her experiences, Norstrom has encountered a complete metamorphosis ─ releasing one identity for another. Living inside this transitional lifestyle she states, “I see myself as that long-blooming, rich flower waiting to attract those butterflies. It is there, I’ve come full circle having realized the dangerous effects of toxicity."
I’ve learned so many lessons along my new journey. Once having experienced an unhealthy lifestyle, I’ve changed those old ways of living. You know, one can change for the betterment of life. Being toxic doesn’t mean one has to remain inside that toxic space. Through those experiences endured, I was introduced to toxicity way back! I’ve discovered toxicity exist in many disguises not only people but drugs, illnesses, environments, battlefields, emotions, feelings, etc. But . . .
Seemingly, toxicity has become a NEW wave of life. It is the effects of those interactions that have crippled today’s environment. Many innocent lives are taken senselessly by the hands and actions of those toxic people.
The tragedy of it all they took a gift (i.e., our children, our husbands, our wives, our mothers, even our fathers, etc.) which was given by our Heavenly Father. Having robbed us, their thievery has left only memories of our loved ones’ presence.
“Toxic people,” we curse you and all you stand for. May you find yourself begging our Heavenly Father to spare your life, while experiencing the painful hurt you’ve put us through . . . having taken a life that wasn’t yours to take! A life worth living.
Your actions have tainted our world.
