YES, YES, YES, Brit... love your new post! don't ever let go of those wonderful things about you!!
I have been feeling similarly. I was beating myself up for awhile and I got too stuck in "changing" my weak parts without celebrating the good parts of me. Yesterday I had a conversation w/ my sister and told her all the wonderful feedback I had gotten recently from work and friends and she said and I realized that I am pretty darn special. It felt good to think that!
My word for the day is BALANCE.. i can work on me but also need to balance that by celebrating who I already am...
You are incredible Brit, I love your spirit!
