Just watched a movie called "Diary of A Single Mom." The bottom line is that she had been through much drama and many challenges but she was determined to make things better for herself and for her children, not to mention the people she cared about. The movie itself wasn't so great, but boy, did it give me some insights! Her focus was mainly on those around her, but at the same time, she was learning to care about making things better for herself, too. It gave me a lot to think about and really pushed its message straight through to the part of me that needs to pay attention.

The interesting thing is that over the past few days, things are springing up to show me that improvements are in the air. These improvements are things that are important to me, and the whole scenario is so very exciting to me! It really feels like these things are in my reach. I don't quite know how they've manifested, because there is more than one possibility, but it doesn't really matter. What does matter is that they are happening.

Plus I'm starting to really speak up about things that are important to me. I have a letter in the works to the interim ECISD superintendent regarding some suggestions I have, and I'm also going to be seeing Mrs. Young--my supervisor at school--regarding some things I want to bring up about work. I'm really finding my voice and I'm taking charge of how things can go for myself.

Excited! Proud of myself! Moving forward!
