What inspired me to write Consequences

I've always been passionate about both reading and writing; there's so much to learn and for me reading is the relaxing way to learn. Writing relaxes me as well but it matters a great deal to me what I write. I've written many stories but none so far that are more dear to my heart than Consequences.

The reason this story touches my heart so much is because daily we hear, read, and some of us actually see how HIV is impacting our lives. Parents are burying their kids; children are burying parents; and overall, we're losing the people we love simply because we're not educating ourselves and each other about HIV.

What can you do, what can I do to help eradicate this disease? UNITE. Responsibility starts with each individual but it doesn't end there. Knowledge is power. Let's educate ourselves about HIV/AIDS and share that knowledge, not only with our loved ones, but any and everyone who will listen!

We're not invincible; can we not see that? So many people have already lost their battle with HIV/AIDS. Let's unite and save lives. With unity and faith in God, it is possible to eradicate the spread of HIV/AIDS.

What did you do today to save a life? What will you do tomorrow?
