Courageous steps?

Past Blog Prompt: A day when I had courage

What actually constitutes courage? Is it running headlong into danger or just facing an unknown with trepidation but a willingness to face it anyhow? For me, courage was finally taking the step to walk away from a marriage that was and would continue to be harmful to all parties involved.

And that is a courage that so many women can't find. Hugs to you.

So glad that you and I both were able to make that decision Tink!

I am not sure how you feel about it, but I, over the years of healing, growth and a better understanding, have come to find that my courage in finally leaving a 22-year TOXIC marriage was closely interwoven with my budding self-esteem. Once I realized that I was no less important than anyone else and that "I" deserved better in life as did my six children, I was able to make the decision to dissolve the relationship.

AWESOME layout LOVLEY LADY!!!

XOXO,
Linda :)
