"What you do with your failures, your disappointments, your heartbreaks shapes who you are." Yes. Yes and yes! Thank you for sharing this part of your adventure.

Thanks for reading, Yvonne! Glad you liked the image, too. I actually had another image at first when I originally published this article, but it wasn’t conveying the right emotion so I had to re-do it. Had fun making this one :)

Wow! This was an absolutely incredible read! There were so many good, hard reminders in here, and yet so much encouragement as well. I loved what you said about finding your identity in Christ—that was so powerful and such a fantastic perspective reset. This was wonderful, thank you!

Looks like I found my inner voice but only this time this voice is outside of me and found in your writings. Inspirational, yes, to learn how to better explain my internal dialog. Keep on writing. I'll keep on learning.

Stay hard, yet blessed!
