(Great title, BTW) I agree that we don’t give ourselves credit enough for the way our experiences – and examinations of those experiences – lead to our growth. And I love the idea of changing the stories we tell ourselves! More posts, please!

Thanks so much, Joyce, for your insightful and encouraging comment. As we go forward with our pursuits—not to mention our dreams—we have every chance of transforming into stronger women and men living our values and goals. And it’s up to us to recognize and acknowledge it.

Thank you, Terry. Let’s all keep transforming, bravely, into what we want to become.

And,yes, I think you could be right that women don’t give ourselves enough credit for the hard-won growth we achieve. Bring on some transformation 😉

It is food for thought. Memoirs being about transformation and change, and the consideration of the “story I tell myself about myself”. There is value reflecting upon this concept even for a regular guy like me.
