I was born in subtropical India,
never saw snow in real life.
I did not know what a snowman was,
certainly, never built one.
Then, I came to California
got opportunity—
to read, see, and build one,
I painted snowman too.
Who does not love Olaf?
He made us fall in love
with snowman.
This festive season,
they are everywhere,
inflatables, mostly,
waving cheerfully.
Then I learned Spanish.
Snowman is called 'muñeco de nieve'.
Recently, I learned Japanese—
it is called 'yukidaruma'.
It feels nice to know,
about this fun figure of snow.

Who is your "Person"?
It's important to recognize that you cannot go through life as easily on your own. My name is Elizabeth and I'm a survivor of child abuse and horrific trauma. Healing from trauma is not a quick fix and recognizing that it will take time, is part of the struggle.
