I am writing this, right after I pulled off yet another month on my calendar. Only one page left in our 2014 calendar, where has the year gone? 2014 has been an amazing year for me so far. I have become unapologetically me. I am confident in my own skin and own who I am today, I love who I am today because I fought to become her. Tomorrow begins the best month of the year, the month in which yours truly was born many many many moons ago. Looking at where I am now in my life, I must say I am happy. I am humbled, yet proud. I am in my mid-thirties, have been married for twelve years, have three amazing children. I own my own business, run a successful blog, am a published writer, and am able to mentor other women in writing, mothering, and just being a lady. That, I am proud of! I laugh easily and cry with true emotion, emotion that is not anger or sadness, just emotion. I am no longer afraid to hug people or say "I love you", because I know it is something I am offering to them, and it is a true feeling I have, it is a gift I give to them. I don't hide behind past hurts or labels, but stand boldly in front of those and declare who I am today. In the past year I have seen friendships change, family dynamics shift, and as I stated before, I am more confident than I have ever been.
As we enter into December, lets look at ourselves. Look at where we are today, where we want to be. What can we do to become who we want to be? The process to becoming who you desire to be is not always smooth and sometimes is quite bumpy. But hold on my dear ones, because when you get near your destination, it becomes very smooth, and before you know it you will be riding on the coattails of confidence and laugh with no fear of the future. Hold on tight to those dreams and desires you have and never stop pursuing those!
Here is to an amazing December!
Cheers,
Rebecca
