Voices of Enlightenment: Why You Chose Your Parents

People like to say, "You can't choose your family," but the reality is, we really DO choose our family. Today we'll share insight from some of our Voices of Enlightenment on WHY we choose parents who may appear to have certain shortcomings. What lesson can be learned by being the child of an alcoholic, a verbal abuser, a sexual assault perpetrator, a violent, out of control adult who beats us mercillessly? How can such negative experiences turn us into positive beings who are driven to correct society's problems? Today's guest, Minister Cynthia Marie Williams, shares her story of childhood abuse and how it motivated her to reconnect with the spiritual power within.
