There were many times when I wondered why I didn’t fit in with the “in crowd.”

Why couldn’t I be like this person?  Why couldn’t I do this thing as well as these other people?  Why couldn’t I make “a certain style” work for me?  Why, Why, Why?

The last couple of years have been life-changers for me.  Catalyst years.

God brought a brilliant coach into my world…and I started thinking ever so differently.  I started asking new questions in my mind-talk, like…

What do I have that I can work with?

What have I learned that can help me move forward?

What has God gifted me with…that I can use to fulfill my calling?

What new adventures are in store for me?

A while ago, I was watching What a Girl Wants.  This thought jumped out at me from that movie: “Why are you trying so hard to fit in…when you were born to stand out?”  How cool is that?!

I can embrace the real me.  The unique me that God created.  The “most me” that I can be.

What freedom and deep joy I feel inside…I was born to stand out!
