For what seems like forever looking back on it....I had very very very low self esteem.....I didn't believe in myself and definitely partook in self deprecating activities. I let myself be told over and over again that I was unworthy and unable to do so many things....My career choice was stupid and unattainable, my thought processes about life were silly and unrealistic....Simply said, I was being told that being me was just not an option.
Fast forward to almost 3 years ago now.....I divorced my old life and moved onto a much more supportive and exciting new adventure. I returned to college and have reached the bars set for me over and over again...more often than not reaching them and hurtling right over the top. Just recently being named STUDENT OF THE YEAR AT YCCC...I couldn't be more humbled and thrilled to have been chosen....still in awe of it all....
I have purchased the dream farm...that in my mind I can see finished and full of excited friends, family and interesting visitors....WE are in the midst of renewal in the form of baby goats and the return to making cheese and ice cream and whatever else can be made with goats milk....
Its an incredibly exciting time, and I have to thank my support system for it....For my husband, for my parents and siblings...for my friends and family supporting me on facebook and reading this blog....if it wasn't for you all, I wouldn't have had to courage to success in this thing we call life....
I have learned so much in such a very short period of time....but the most important thing I have learned is to give of your TRUE SELF....be not afraid of that person that may be hidden underneith....Tell him or her to burst forth and be real....When you come out....GIVE...as much as you can....because when you do....amazing things happen...Wonderful people fall in love with you...Amazing role models and leaders come into your life and the neat little world of networking comes into play...you might be surprised by what happens....
and beyond all that....TOOT your own horn....if you are really good at something...do it and tell people about it....
