THE PERSON BEHIND THE PORTRAIT

In her own words

Being brave and persistent requires an understanding and acceptance of your desires and dreams for life. That’s why I choose every day: 1. To lift myself up when I have a hard time believing in myself or when others speak against my ideas. 2. To support myself when I doubt my strength in storms of all kinds. 3. To stand up when I am momentarily knocked down by my own or others’ words, actions or unspoken expectations. I know that emotions are important information about how I feel. Emotions are my opportunity to choose to do something different or choose to continue on the same path! And that’s why emotions are power! Because my wishes and dreams are my goals and I have chosen to walk the path myself. Of course, I ask for help when someone else has a skill I don’t have or time I don’t have, but I find the courage to walk the path myself, I support myself and I believe in myself. I know that my dreams and desires are not for everyone, but they are right for me and I live them every single day. Power comes from within, and power is found by SEEING yourself as who you really are and doing what feels right for you!
