I Have, I Am, I Can

There are three small statements that I have learned to rely and live on. I go back to these three statements when I need to encourage myself and remind myself that: I AM RESILIENT. These statements are I Have, I Am, and I Can. These three 'mini statements' help me get through any rough day that I have and here are what they mean to me (This post will be mostly in list form).

I Have is reminder of everything I am blessed to have in my life.

I HAVE:

  • People around me that I trust and who love me 
  • People who set limits for me. 
  • People who show me how to act by the way the act. 
  • People who help me do things on my own. 
  • People who support me and my goals. 
By having these people, family and friends, who do all these things and more for me I am able to get on a healthy path. I am therefore able to have people who can help me when times get hard on me. 


I Am is quite obvious, it's a reminder of who I am as a person. 

I AM: 
  • A person people can like
  • A person who likes to help others
  • Respectful to myself and others
  • Willing to take responsibility for what I do. 
  • Sure I will be alright. 
By being able to remember these and remember who I am I able to center myself and my focus on myself and my goals. 


I Can is a reminder of everything I am able to do when I have rough days arise. 

I CAN: 
  • Talk to others about things that bother me
  • Find ways to solve problems that I face 
  • Control myself when I feel like somethings not right 
  • Find someone to help me when I need it
By stopping and reminding myself of what I can do about the situation I am to take charge and help myself. 


These three small statements are what I live by. They have gotten me out of many bad days by simply reminding myself that I Have, I Am, and I Can!

I HAVE survived my past, I AM resilient and I CAN survive anything else that is thrown my way!

Embracing Imperfection ~ Scars

There are many different posts I can make about "Embracing Imperfection" that's why I added a part to the title regarding this specific post Scars . We all can recognize what an external scar on the skin is; we've all fallen a few times and gotten a scrape that turns into a scar, in some cases the scar fades over time and in other cases they don't. But no-one really takes into account our internal scarring...why is that? Now I don't mean literally inside our body like scar tissue from a surgery, I mean our emotional scarring. The scarring that is so evidently present to us but no-one else sees it. If you take a look at the definition of a scar (just a scar in general) it, of course goes over other details but it also says that it is the process of wound repair and that it is a natural occurrence in the healing process . Let me repeat this...it is the process of wound repair and a natural occurrence in the healing process. What is the difference in that defi...

My Story Begins

My story is one that people around my community do not know, in fact the majority of even my friends are unaware. This is my way of getting this out, my way of letting people know and understand, and to Share the Glass Slipper ! There were times in high school that probably would have been a lot smoother had the teachers, staff, and students knew why I was the way I was. They didn't understand why I would prefer to have my nose in a book than to communicate with my classmates. This is my story, the one that has been told to very few people, aside from the strangers in my Washington DC presentation. From the time I was born until I was almost four I lived with my biological mother. During this time my 'first step-father' and mother moved me and my sisters from Alabama to Mississippi, away from my Father. My story begins, however, when my mother and 'first step-father' divorced and she moved in with another man. So now you ask what happened? During a visitation wit...

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...
