DAY 18 Feb. 16: The thought for today is FREEDOM. Civil Rights activist Diane Nash said, "Freedom, by definition, is people realizing that they are their own leaders." Take a leadership role today in your own life. Find a way where you can express who you truly are.

"When people decide they want to be free, there is nothing that can stop them." -Bishop Desmond Tutu

"To be free is to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." -Nelson Mandela

Today: I'll claim my definition of freedom. I'll write a haiku poem about freedom.
