This is the Part I of the Unsung Heroes Series by Aspiring Blog. This book will make you realize that there is so much potential in being alive that we just never tap into. Here we will present to you the stories of heroes ‘the real heroes.’ Their stories might not be on the silver screen or related to any battlefield, but you’ll get the same Goosebumps moment that you had while watching any other superhero movie. The unreal act of heroism they’ve shown and have done for humanity is enough to leave anyone tongue-tied. All these stories are being written after intensive research because only a few sources are available on the internet. We’ve collected different elements from different sources and then connected them together to bring the true and complete picture of their lives. So let us Unfold the Stories of Unsung Heroes together.

Building in Bronze is an inspirational manifesto written by a woman who has never stopped dreaming and working to create space in the world where she could live her most authentic life. Cayla Pothan created just such a space, and in the process, discovered how to share her insights with other people who long to live with joy and purpose. After a difficult journey from a childhood of feeling trapped in a victim mindset, she emerged into a life filled with creativity and growth, eventually founding the Tootsie Gallery. Tootsie is a symbol of the dreams and creativity in the life of the child. As an artist, mentor, coach, gallery owner, and community builder, she reaches out to help others find purpose by getting in touch with the child within. Readers who may have lost sight of their own dreams, lacking purpose or creative outlets, will find inspiration to re-engage with their creative energies and the courage to chase those lovely dreams.
