“My story began when I was able to imagine the impossible and design the most brilliant life I could picture. When we can see that and multiply that image by 100, we start to get the very beginning glimpse into what life and what Love looks like when the focus is on the goodness and the good people around us!

Focus on the good! Be in the present moment, using your surest qualities to anchor you as you map out your dreams. Believe on! Be you… and Only you.

You will see how the world changes around you. It is nothing short of a miracle.

Much love and inspiration for the journey! — Carissa aka ‘Runaway Girl’ aka ‘Girl with the Potential go go anywhere she wants’ — — just like you!”

When we reached out to Carissa to share a message with our survivors, she said the above beautiful and positive words.
