Zues....sweetie....cut yourself some slack. I know that's a foreign phrase to you, it's not in your DNA, but it's something you are going to have to pick up. For 20 years I had a voice in my head that told me I wasn't good enough, I didn't look good enough, I wasn't a good enough wife, a good enough housekeeper, a good enough hostess, a good enough mother. My job wasn't good enough, I wasn't social enough. Then the voice moved out and divorced me. The problem is here, Zues, your negative voice is coming from you.
I am finding out that I am smart and funny and attractive and a good friend. I like my job, friends want to have dinner with me, guys want to date me. My kids tell me I'm a great mom. But here's the thing: I was always those things. I just believed the wrong voice. Who are you listening to, Zues? And why?
