I've talked about Mrs. Kuiper before.
She was my second grade teacher.
I can still picture her face, her hair, the skin on her hands.
I can literally remember her voice.
She taught us to "never brag."
"People don't like people who brag."
Like most things, I took that to the extreme!
I went to the opposite side of the spectrum and hated myself, even though I so desperately needed to self-validate due to the environment I was in.
I needed, so badly, to recognize the worth in my self.
I had therapy this morning.
Bless my therapists and coaches!
My homework for the next two weeks is to actively talk to that inner child in me.
Show that inner child compassion and grace.
We are not who we were.
We are a work in progress always.
We are on a journey always.
We get to celebrate that journey!
