My pain has taught me that my body holds a resilience far more powerful than its outward appearance.

That I can be thrown, tumbled, cast aside, and yet still rise in the power of who I am.

I belong here.

My voice, the space that I take up, and the words that pour out of me are all important.

I deserve to be heard, felt, loved, touched, and valued.

I am the greatest gift to those that receive me and the greatest regret for those who have lost me.

I am powerful, I am strong, I am amazing.

I am an overcomer, overachiever, and a game changer.

I am a threat to most and loving to all.

I am all that and more !
