INNER GROWTH

“Real growth is about becoming more of who you already are.”

– LORI GOTTLIEB


In my forties I undertook the project of finding myself.  It all started when my children asked what my favorite ice cream flavor was, and I didn’t know. I looked at my life and realized somewhere along the way I had lost who I was. It wasn’t really about ice cream, but knowing me as an individual.

Learning to become you is tough. You have to stop listening to everything around you and focus on the person within. 

I found the things about me that had I loved, and I found gigantic wholes in myself that I had to reconstruct. 

Finding me was the hardest project I ever did. But by far one of the most rewarding. 

I also learned that you can reinvent you into a far better version of you. Becoming someone that you not only like, but whom you truly love. After all, you are the only person you have to wake up with every morning of your life. 

By giving yourself the right to keep evolving, you will learn to love the life you have.

I learned to really like myself, then I learned to love who I am. It was a game of life changer for me.

And… Rocky Road, the kind with marshmallow swirls, not the little marshmallows. This is my favorite ice cream. Followed closely by butter pecan!
