When I look in the mirror, What do I see?
You know it is a choice what you see. what is reflecting back?

Do I see A tired woman alittle out of shape from years of putting everyone first? or the gray hairs trying to poke out from the last color job?
Do I see the fine lines that are appearing around my eyes and lips....

The green eyes that have seen too much sorrow and pain?

Yes I do see those things...but most importantly
I see a beautiful heart, thats strong and courageous- to do things most others wont do. A survivor, mother of 3 grown kids who worked as many jobs at once as it took to feed her family.

I see a woman who used to be afraid , alone and battered, but had the courage one day to say NO MORE! I deserve better...

An independent creature, who has held onto enough of the child inside to still have compassion and not look at things from a de-sensitized view.
SOme one who cries at animal rescue ads, helps elderly people, and buys homeless people hambugers....
A woman who has beat cancer twice and been free since 2000.

I could choose to focus on my flaws, I could pick myself apart
for all thats wrong with me... But I am a Blessed woman.
Despite mistakes, bad judgement and bad timing I have so much to be greatful for...


When you look in the mirror -what do you see? I hope you choose to see the good in you-
