Sometimes it's okay to look back...

I'm a firm believer in looking forward to your future and not focusing on the past, but every once it a while I think it's okay to look back and see how far I've come.

Three years ago I wrote this entry as a prayer that flowed from my heart.  And I'm so grateful I did.  So grateful to be able to read these words today and be affirmed of just how much I've grown.  While the goal of peace is still a daily struggle, I look back and smile thinking of the journey that has shaped me into the independent, confident, and successful woman that I am today :)
