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."
Let’s face it! With this broken and torn environment, we’ve been fighting battles for centuries. My battle fighting years occurred long before the wickedness of today’s happenings . . . in this society. As a wounded soldier, I’m a survivor! During that war, many of those soldiers and troopers I fought alongside didn’t make it. Perhaps, I was granted a return to stand-fast in my convictions. Hear me loud and clear “Engaging in toxicity is poisoning that spews out as a deadly weapon.” Attention, attention, ‘tis the calling of awareness – observe, listen, and take heed. I stand before you as a soldier who've survived!
It's a war out there, is there a message you’d like to share with the people?
