When you begin to NOTICE you start healing … and yes, it’s possible to turn back the hands of time! Wow … 

ABOUT THE VIDEO ABOVE …

It all started when I needed to take a picture of myself for a profile. As happens in life, my whole world had blown up after divorce, loss of home, friends, and it was on the verge of getting worse … but I had no idea how much worse.

As the scapegoat in my family, I was carrying enormous amounts of shame and low self-esteem. The whole idea of taking a photo of myself to put online for business was mortifying. My saving grace is .. I have a sense of humor.

The first photo … eh … not so impressive … take another … then another … then I started playing … and an idea came to mind.

What if I were to pretend I was interacting with one of my cartoons? How would that look? Can I do that? So my faces got crazier and crazier. Pretty soon, I’m laughing and not at all self-conscious.

Little did I know, this brief, silly, moment in time, would be one of the cornerstones of my healing which has brought me to the place where I am now helping other women in “Redeeming their Past in order to Live Forward.”

It begins with small steps … and I HIGHLY recommend that you do this too – you’ll be amazed at what you can learn about yourself – and who needs to know unless 15 years later you decide to make it public? LOL
