This week, I let myself become overwhelmed by fear but then I confronted it head-on.
I took few steps backward in reaching one of my professional goals but I made progress in defining my dreams and ways to achieve them. Steps in any direction is progress in my book.
I wasn't always a great listener this week but I tried to give encouragement wherever I could.
I have a few items that have stayed on my to -do list all week but I crossed a few new things off my teuxdeux list each day.
I may have improvised a little in my cooking this week but I managed to cook a wholesome dinner on top of a busy teaching day.
"Be fully yourself." We've all heard it before. During childhood, the words, "Just be yourself," seemed to relate most to integrity, honesty, and self-confidence. In the context of this week, the words take on new meaning. Being "fully myself" means accepting myself, not giving in, taking constructive criticism and learning from the experience, holding on to hope, learning to listen, taking action on the things that I care about, and showing grace to myself and others.
