To be bold, to be fearless, to be iconic, to be unforgettable.
To be bold…I wasn’t taught to be bold, I was taught to be obedient, to work hard, to not expect too much. Being bold is something I am learning every day. I think that life has taught me to be fearless in a way. I’ve lived through a lot of things that I feared and I’m still here, standing strong and plowing ahead, somedays with more confidence than others. I would like to have an iconic personal style, or to be remembered for my appreciation for beauty. I do want to be unforgettable (in a good way), at least to some. It is my wish to find my voice on this blog and to encourage other women of whatever age to speak up and say what they think and how they feel! I want to be bold and fearless so one day I will be iconic and unforgettable.
Look for good things about where you are, and in your state of gratitude, you will lift your self-imposed limitations and you will fee yourself to receive magical things!
