The stories we tell ourselves can make us or break us… but we choose our own thoughts… we choose which story we want to write. We choose which stories give us power. We can focus on stories about our setbacks or our grief or our horrible and damaged past. Or we can focus on how much stronger we are because we overcame tough times. I have plenty of friends who have succeeded despite horrific childhoods – unimaginable setbacks and things I can’t even repeat here – and they are changing the narrative and the plot and rewriting their life story as they move forward. That is where braveness and courage and self-confidence blaze their own beautiful pathway. And that is where personal growth and peace and happiness live.I put myself on hold for 20 years while I followed my husband's military career and raised my 3 babies... and along the way I forgot who I was and what fueled my soul. I spent my 30s raising my babies and I fell into a decade of grief over the loss of loved ones during my 40s. I had no idea I would find myself again in my 50s. Finally! This is my story and my challenge to YOU to find yourself if you've been lost too!
