Rene,
EXCELLENT!!! I've been down that road SO-O-O-O-O-O many times and, yes, it is painful. But there is healing and we become stronger, sweeter and more patient.
This is also something my daughter has had to go through . . . and is learning from.
THANKS!!!

Great post, and I still grieve over things that happened in high school, for pete's sake. So, I thank you for that post!

Rene what a gift you have. That was a wonderful post. I hope everyone reads it until it really sinks in. The comments were great too. If all of us would say these words of yours over and over to themselves. I also very much agree with the quote "I am what I am and not what others want me to be." Those words were my mantra as I grew up. Boy, did I enjoy reading them again. Renewed my spirit. Thaks so much.

Rene,
Hard lesson to learn . . "I am enough". I am a "Recovering Perfectionist" and learning to be WHO I am, that I'm a unique woman created and LOVED by God . . . and that perfectionism and doing my best are TWO entirely different things. But, what freedom when you can move past striving . . a futile effort . . . for perfection!
Yup . . . I'm Okay!!!
THANKS!
