I woke up the other day a bit early. I was a bit muddled and my brain was considering a mutiny against this whole getting up and starting the day thing when a lovely thought entered my brain. It was "I am a strong, confident, brave, and empowered woman." And there was nothing attached to it. No fear. No shame. No doubt. Nothing. Just a lovely warm feeling of being right and content with who I am.

Just wanted to share that with you lovely folks.

SarahMarie,

I strive to reach that. You are one of my new heroes.

Joanna

Joanna,

Thank you! That really means a lot. It is hard though. I've been having a lot of triggering thoughts and feelings that are making me really doubt myself. It is hard going through the mental process.

BUT (!!!)

I am here and I am alive and I am a woman of great integrity. I fall down and try to get up again. Keep moving forward and all that.

- Sarah
