Thought for today...letting go of labels


For a very long time I lived my "labels"...they became who I was. When I thought of myself I thought of myself as the label given to identify the diagnosis and symptoms of my struggle.

    Your notes remind me a lot of me in the past...searching, hoping, trying to believe that there was a solution.

    I'm glad you are finding some nuggets here that are useful in your own journey, Stacy!
