Quotes by Melissa B. Lombardo (?)

“My drive to write is inspired by an ever-increasing desire to help others, to light the way to what’s possible and truly within reach. I credit writing as one of the reasons I was able to heal. I founded “Write, Heal, Thrive” based off the inspiration that writing became a way for me to heal, and through healing, I moved from hope into thriving, something I continue to do each day.”
― Melissa B. Lombardo
