Every Experience Makes You Grow.

Every Experience Makes You Grow.

When You Get Into Your 40s, It's All About Lighting. It's Hard. You Have To Face Whether The Way You Look Is Your Self-worth Or Not. Once You Get Beyond That, It's All About What's In Your Heart.

Sadness, Joy, Wonder - All Feelings Come From A Place Of Grounded Strength That Comes From Trust In Yourself. We Spend So Much Time Trying To Control Our Feelings Out Of Fear That Something May Happen, That Somebody May Not Love Us, Or Walk Away Or Die. It's Only When You Stop Living In That Fear Of What Other People Might Do To You Or How They Will React, Only Then Are You Free To Be Alive.

As The Only Girl Growing Up Among Three Brothers, I Was Always Afraid Of Being Excluded. If There Was A Game To Be Played, A Sport To Be Learned, A Competition To Join, I Was On My Feet And Ready. I Didn't Spend Much Time Alone For Fear That I'd Miss Out.

I Don't Have High Expectations Anymore. Maybe They've Just Been Beaten Out Of Me.
