"I've completely removed the word 'should' from my vocabulary. I've just taken it out. I have to trust that if I can do something, I will-- and I just let the rest go."
This is just one of the lessons that my housemate, Jessica, has taught me.
Jessica, Youma, and so many of the other women I've met here possess an undeniable strength and grace that is unlike any of the strengths that I have known before . This example, along with that of the many other un-perfect, ever-growing, brave women that have raised me, fills me with the pride and courage to claim the name woman for myself. I feel so fortunate to be stretching my wings alongside these warriors, these women, as I continue my journey in learning what it mean to be un-perfect, to be worthy, to be learning, and to settle for nothing less.
