The Journey
I have been on a journey this year about self-discovery and self-acceptance. I had a life lesson take me for a smack down at the beginning of this year. One sure way to gain a life experience and not in a nice way either, but have discovered the reason behind the madness though. I have made the decision to continue on this journey to continue to learn and grow and hopefully become a better version of my self.
I wanted to go deeper than . . .
- Who am I?
- Why am I here?
- What am I suppose to do with my life?
I have been focusing on looking outside myself for the answers. I have shifted that focus to looking within myself this year. Talk about eye-opening at times! You reveal the good, bad and the ugly about yourself and through the process come to accept or least embrace yourself warts and all.
All of you are UNIQUE with YOUR OWN SET OF TALENTS! Amazing, right. It is about accepting and embracing who you are and possibly sharing your talents with yourself and other people. Totally amazing, right.
Best of Luck on Your Own Journey and Being Open to What Life Offers You!!!

One of the toughest journeys I went on a few years ago, was the discovery of loving oneself. I’m trying to teach this to my daughter.. that each of us is perfect just as we are. I don’t want her to wait as long as I did to figure it out, lol. It helps to feel “centered” in oneself, if that makes sense.. it helps to feel stronger and able to get through problems in life. I’m sure enjoying your topics, btw! xx

I have been on that journey myself. I love that you are taking your daughter on that journey, especially with peer pressure, body image, boys, etc. Being centered is a great place along with having good self-esteem and self-confidence and a sense of independance. Good Luck!

Such a challenging and wonderful journey you have been on Renee. I’m sure that while some doors closed, other, more wonderful ones opened. You seem to be so well grounded and self-aware. Celebrate you!

That is the BEST way to describe it – challenging and wonderful! You really have to be open to the possibilities and be willing to go through a door; open or not. I think I am pretty grounded, but learning to be more self-aware, self-in-tune:)
