September 16: An intelligent 42-year old woman

 That is what I am. And I am capable and kind. I have talents and a great capacity for good. I’m learning a lot about love. And sometimes the way I talk to myself is anything but loving. I am grateful for the reminder I had today that I should talk to myself in loving and respectful ways. And need to stop treating myself like an often ignored toddler. It’s just time. I am done buffering. Done just surviving. Ready to thrive.
