I've been struggling a lot lately, with the changes in my life and the disparity between who I am and who I want to be. I see these pictures of these beautiful women who look strong and confident with a sort of free spirit air about them and I think to myself "I want to be that." I can remember points in my life when I felt like that. They were brief, in comparison, but I have felt on top of the game, in charge of my life, happy and moving ahead. And because I've been there I know that I'm capable of it, but I'm not sure how to get to that again. I've been like a sponge lately, reading books about inspirational women, listening to music by strong, soulful women, trying desperately to find their secret. I think in all the stress and change of late, I've lost myself a bit. I need to get back to myself, figure out who I am at this point in my life and what makes me happy. Then I can be vibrant, and confident, and soulful, and free.
