Accepting myself as I am has been the next most challenging part of this journey.
I have spent my entire life defining myself through the expectations of others. I have neither honoured nor been true to myself. Who am I without this, or that has been a perpetual question.
I must answer this to accept who I am at this very moment.
I am special, unique, given life to fulfill my purpose.
I am a survivor, I am strong – I would not have come this far if I was not.
I am not, nor ever will be alone.
I am loved. You have all shown me this.
I am nurturing. I have a desire to see that people are cared for, comforted, safe, but I need to do the same for me first.
At Bellwood I created a life mission statement I’d like to share. It is this vulnerability I must embrace: “To find, pursue, accept and become my destiny and achieve my true greatness.”
