These past five days have helped me to understand what I've been hiding and struggling with for most of my 73 years. I finally feel free from the stories I’ve told myself, the pain I experienced, the beliefs I've held, and the feelings and emotions that have kept me stuck in a pattern that felt like safety, but in reality was a cage.
I've come away from this finally feeling more confident and proud, not only for what I've accomplished, but for what I still have to offer; even in these latter years of my life. I have no regrets for the years gone by. It's time to let go of "what might have been", and embrace "what's to come."
Just knowing that I'm perfectly imperfect as I am, means I no longer have to prove myself to anyone. I celebrate my unique individuality and I love who I am becoming!
