…and now back to the next sign. I refracted with ALTERNATE ROUTES several months ago and this next sign certainly reinforces that blog. As much as I sometimes wish things could be ONE WAY, they are not. If my personal journey on this earth, and society in general, had not used ALTERNATE ROUTES, healthy growth and change would never have…
Value, Worth, and Cost
Battling obesity for most of my life, I now believe that some of my weight-related health issues may have come from low self-esteem that manifested in my choices. I did not feel worthy enough.
