Prince Pucci has his sweatbands on and is ready to go. He never has trouble asking for help and is a great little teacher.
I used to believe that strength was in being independent and self-sufficient. I did everything “right.” I rose from many very difficult childhood challenges and worked very hard to put myself through college. I had to educate myself in many respects, having come from a terrible school system.
I lived wherever I could find a room or floor much of the time. I was considered pretty and intelligent and was offered easier ways along the way, but I knew they lacked integrity. I graduated with honors and went on to grad school feeling more lost and empty than when I began.
It was here that I began an inner deep dive, and here that I began to see that I had been mistaken about everything. What a relief it was to find out that I had been wrong because being “right” had gotten me where I was.
It was also here that I began to see that my real strength is in being utterly and completely dependent on a strength that lies within me but isn’t of me. When I look to it and trust its strength and not my own, there truly is nothing that is impossible.
Learning how to look to this and trust in it isn’t always easy as it goes against everything we are taught about strength, but it’s worth every bit of effort.

I don’t ever plan on including these little commentaries. In fact, every morning I sit poised to post and think that I just want to post the image and be done with it. But lately, I feel nudged to share just a little bit which feels a bit strange to me, to be honest.
You inspire me! I really look forward to reading your honest heartfelt muses and your thoughts on them! I’m struggling right now with finding myself at 62! Believe it or not, you are helping me! Thank u

Your commentary lifts your message to the realm of friendship for me. Your past challenges make me realize yet again that our story isn’t over until our life is over, but if we want change, then we must instigate it. Funny, but I was thinking at the beginning of your post that I wish you’d write a memoir! 🌟

I’m so glad that you shared these thoughts today because I so need them. I can’t tell you how many tears I have shed over feeling that I’m weak. It’s so helpful to hear I’m strong from someone else. Your success has come from your inner strength to be able to ask for help when you need it. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
