Babes!
How many of you have been on dating websites?! I've been on far too many... hashtag toxic relationship coach!
Anywho, if you have not been on a dating website - maybe just take a gander for entertainment purposes! They are a plethora of people trying to make their best impressions, with a keyboard and a cell phone camera. Normally, such people type in a bit of a description of themselves and then have multiple options to click different things they like, such as: music, exercise, reading, traveling, outdoors, sports, etc. The idea is that these websites then "put together" people with similar interests, beliefs, locations, etc.

My Katryna asked me this question during our first counseling appointment. I think I responded with, "I'm a mom. I work full time..." Her facial expressions are some of my favorite! "But WHO are YOU?" Babes! I had no idea! I was 42 years old and I had NO idea who I was!!!!
I had been a chameleon for 42 years. I was whoever people told me they wanted me to be. All of the time. Then when they'd change their mind, I'd change who I was. I did not have a clue who Heidi was. Not even an inclination. 
#validationaddiction But, I got to learn. I was able to begin dating my darn self! I was able to begin the adventure... the amazing, painful, terrifying, heartbreaking, exciting journey of who Heidi is. And, I love her!

And, I love her!I have mentioned several things on here for the last little bit, but we have to begin with awareness. 
Be aware. Be, be aware! We have to be aware of who we are, what we need, what we DON'T need, the best ways of getting there, etc. We get to date ourselves! We get to fall in love with ourselves. That is where it begins... so get on that starting line! We're about to go on an amazing adventure!
