Julie king
Founder of Love Soup
Hi I’m Julie
Today I am living and fulfill a dream I had as a child through life experience gaining desire to help the homeless and feed people that are in need
During a certain period in my life I forgot that dream and lost all hope in my potential to achieve greatness.
I was unwell so far as to almost losing my life to self-destruction and dark thoughts of believing as far as the thinking the world was better off without me.
It took a great deal of pain and divine intervention to help me see I was wrong.
Today I am that person I dreamed of being and more. Today I learn to value myself and celebrate my success as I overcome anxiety and do the things that some may find easy was most difficult for me.
Today I know the importance in having a good support network of people that help us to realise our value and place on this earth where we each love and belong. Where together we can achieve so much more.
To know the best part of life is felt with the heart. It is always True. To have a life of meaning a life of Purpose. A Life of Belonging.
I Hope my life can be that to inspire others Know your value and worth, make it count.
