    I have the courage to...
    Embrace my strengths
    Get excited about life
    Enjoy giving and receiving love
    Face and transform my fears
    Spring free from the Superwoman Trap
    Trust myself
    Make my own decisions and choices
    Befriend myself
    Complete unfinished business
    Realize that I have emotional and practical rights.

    Talk as nicely to myself as I do to my plants
    Communicate lovingly with understanding as my goal
    .
    Honor my own needs
    Give myself credit for my accomplishments
    Love the little girl within me
    Overcome my addiction to approval
    Grant myself permission to play
    Quit being a Responsibility Sponge
    Feel all my feelings and act on them appropriately
    .
    Nurture others because I want to, not because
    I have to.

    Choose what is right for me
    Insist on being paid fairly for what I do
    Set limits and boundaries and stick to them
    Say "Yes" only when I really mean it
    Have realistic expectations
    Take risks and accept changes
    Be totally honest with myself
    Correct erroneous beliefs and assumptions
    Respect my vulnerabilities
    Heal old and current wounds
    Savour the mystery of Spirit
    Wave goodbye to guilt
    .

    Plant "flower", not "weed" thoughts in my mind
    Treat myself with respect and teach others to do the same
    Fill my own cup first, then nourish others from
    the overflow
    .

    Own my own excellence
    Plan for the future but live in the present
    Value my intuition and wisdom
    Know that I am lovable
    Celebrate the differences between men and women
    Develop healthy, supportive relationships
    Make forgiveness a priority

    .
     

    Accept myself just as I am Now.....

    The Beauty of A Woman

    The beauty of a woman
    Is not in the clothes she wears,
    The figure that she carries,
    Or the way she combs her hair.

    The beauty of a woman
    Must be seen from in her eyes,
    Because that is the doorway to her heart,
    The place where love resides.

    The beauty of a woman
    is not in a facial mole,
    But true beauty in a woman
    Is reflected in her soul.

    It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
    The passion that she shows...








    And the beauty of a woman
    With passing years - only grows!
