Today, I will no longer beat myself up. If I have a bad moment, it will not take over my day. If I cry, oh well!! These moments happen, and is in no way a reflection on me being a bad or weak person. If I stand up for myself and what I believe in, then I will stand tall and proud. If I look at the big picture, and if I can say I'm happy with things or myself overall, how I handled something, how I tried to help someone, and it doesn't turn out exactly how I want, then that is ok - I know I did my best at the time. It has been a journey for me, unlearning what I have learned with the A.
Forgiveness and being gentle is also for us, I believe.
Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.- Maya Angelo
