I have been on a mission of personal growth, letting go and becoming more understanding! I have lost a lot and over come a lot of adversity in my life, but somehow always dwelled on the loss, discounting my achievements. As a man I was very rough around the exterior and never let anyone in. So much so that I lost the love of my life because of it. It took the loss of this incredible woman I love dearly to understand that I had not come full circle as a man nor would I ever unless I let go, forgave the ones that hurt me and loved myself first. I am still learning but I can say finding myself, even if its in its infancy, has made me a much better person and it has reflected in every aspect of my life. Unfortunately, that girl is not in my life, but thanks to her, I am know the man she saw inside of me when we met and I now have a chance of true happiness!

Sandra, good for you! So brave, sharing your story like this, and standing up for yourself. I just shared a post on the site last week titled “Change Your Life By Changing Your Mind About Yourself” – did you happen to read it? You are the embodiment of what I was talking about in that post! Changing your mind about what you’re worthy of is the biggest catalyst for change. I’m so excited for you!!! 🙂
