this week's affirmation is quite the continuation of last week
we often carry a lot of shame and guilt from the mistakes we've made
i certainly do
every day, i'm working to not only forgive myself, but acknowledge that I will continue to make mistakes and that is okay
that is to be expected
welcomed even
this week's affirmation is - i deserve to change my mind, je mérite de changer d’avis
“it's okay
this is your life
you're the one who has to live here
so if one day, you change your mind about what you've always thought you've wanted, you owe it to yourself to go for it”

another blog post, about careers specifically but applies to so many things…

the gifts of imperfection: 10th anniversary edition by brené brown
brené writes, "this book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution
a small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, 'my story matters because I matter.'
revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance."
next, a podcast…
