Standing tall for myself--forever & ever, amen.

[PEI]

Ok Shel ... You're getting plenty of touchy feely from the 'guys' so I'm gonna tell it to ya straight ... it's time to gather up the kleenex boxes, throw the empty tequila bottle into the recycling bin and clean up after this pity party!

Time to live up to some of your posts ...

I like it here in the sun.
I like my life.
I like me.

And from a post to me ....

Fwiw--I am just nowlearning the real meaning of the phrase "It is what it is." Nothingmore, nothing less. And nothing can change it. See it. Learn from it. Let it go.

In another one to me ...

I can't let that affect me & my journey. We can't go forward if we are glancing over our shoulder

This speaks to positivity and looking ahead ... two things you need to focus on ... it doesn’t matter what that is ...somedays it will be situations beyond your control, somedays it’ll be people you interact with ... whatever ...

I get it, trust me I do. Sometimes we take one in the solar plexus and we stagger for a moment, lord knows I've hosted my fair share of pity parties, but I'm going to tell you what y'all have told me ... get up, dust it off, and start stepping forward for you. Your strength is within YOU. Girl, you have done too much work to be sitting around feeling sorry for yourself. You deserve better than that.

In my experience, whatever throws you off is a distraction, shedding light on area that needs work ... highlighting an insecurity or fear you need to concentrate on, beat down and conquer.

You know the drill ...
