Brave Girl


There are those women who, despite all the obstacles and trials in their lives, rise to become a whole which is greater than the sum of their experiences.  Surviving horrendous families of origin, bad boyfriends, undiagnosed learning disabilities and the schizophrenic messages about women in our society, they become healthy, successful and happy creatures free from their past and free to engage in fulfilling relationships and exciting careers. Despite the odds, they win.  I am one of these.

The one who strives for better, despite the obstacles and naysayers.
The one who learns that their are worse things than failure.
The one who does the right thing, even when it's the toughest option.
The one who isn't afraid of hard work.
The one who looks for the silver lining on the darkest of cloudy days.
The one who refuses to settle for mediocre.
The one who ties a knot in the tiniest thread of hope and hangs on for dear life.
 And when she loves, it's with her whole heart.
