big strong girl.


I feel like I have been talking a lot about my fears, and tactics that I use to live small. I feel like I downplay my strength sometimes. I just thought I would post to declare that while I have fears (and I speak of them often), and while I may still employ tactics that encourage living small...I am a big strong girl. And for me - being a big strong girl means acknowledging my weaknesses, feeling my emotions, asking for help when I need it, walking through it not running away from it, being proud of my accomplishments, nurturing myself when I need it, always being open to growth, and loving all parts of me.

    Amen to that! You are so clearly a designer/artist. I love the doodle. And I know you just got an award from Dian, but when it rains, it pours and there's another waiting for you here (I didn't know you already had one when I made my list - hope you're not overwhelmed by the love!) http://wholeselfcoach.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/sunshine/

    Dian thanks so much. I've been so out of touch with my inner artist for a long time. In fact, it's been forever since I've even doodled. I've been making an effort to unleash her, and doodling is one way I've been doing it. thanks for being here to witness my big strong girl ;)

    Alana Wow! thanks. In fact I didn't know that I had gotten Dian's yet. And now I've got two! Thanks so much. I am overwhelmed with love, but I will savor it, and the honor. Off to go and see your list, and then I've got some fun work to do!
