The Longest Journey Begins With The First Step

What is your first step? Where will your journey take you?  Do you have a plan?  A dream?  So many questions in this crazy thing called life.

I'm not entirely sure where my journey will take me but I have plans and dreams that I intend to work on making happen.  Today I took what I believe is the first step in a new direction.  I once again stepped out of my comfort zone and into a new element.  I created and presented my first workshop on self esteem.  In so doing I feel like my experiences to this point in time finally have purpose.

It ain't always easy and in many ways I've taken the long, trying road.  Bad decisions, guilt, and insecurity were once the determining factors in how I lived my life.  It wasn't until I decided that changes needed to be made, that I had to take control of my life and really create a plan that things started to come together.  With that I had to learn that I counted, that what I wanted really mattered and that is ok.  I AM WORTHY!  There was a time when I didn't feel that and wouldn't have believed it.  Now, my self esteem is much better aligned with my self confidence - there is a difference you know!  I'll elaborate on that, and many other topics in future posts so come on back!

Until next time,
Val

  1. I loved your workshop and look forward to more. When I left the workshop, I felt enlightened and happy. You have a gift from God, you are using the negative things that happened to you and turning it into positive ways to help yourself and others! God Bless you for that. Hugs!! Looking forwarf to more workshops!!!
