"Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise, whether it comes to us as sorrow or as joy It will open a new place in our hearts, a place where we can welcome new friends and celebrate more fully our shared humanity."
-Henri Nouwen

I can now say I have confidence in myself, not just by looks but also my ability as a woman. It sure wasn't easy and it took a whole lot of time.

This blog post is for the ones who are needing a little kick start. I'm no Dr. Phil but I listed what helped me over the years.
