In my 46 years of life, I must admit I’ve experienced great joys, and have been quite thankful for that which I’ve been blessed – a wonderful but small family, good friends, interesting work/play/travel opportunities, plus the strength and independence to support myself in many ways. I also, like us all, have battled through many trying journeys, from complex career decisions and financial challenges to marriage, divorce, and the death of loved ones. Yet among the most difficult personal demons I’ve had to overcome has perhaps been that of self-image. |
