I think they are important.<br \/>First, I just want to mention that if one lives their life outside &#8220;their box&#8221;they take a lot of hits&#8211;punches. And what I know for sure, what I feel good about is that I, for one, have been rolling with the punches. But while I roll, my stomach still hurts from the punch. Rolling doesn&#8217;t stop the initial hurt it just gets you away from the prolonged pain faster!<br \/>And speaking about taking hits, I have taken many on this next topic. I am blessed that I learned a valuable lesson a long time ago. It became apparent to me that I needed to celebrate myself and my life. If I didn&#8217;t do it, no one would. Women need to learn this. We have been programed to believe that celebrating oneself is wrong: conceited, selfish, narcissistic. Women are allowed to celebrate their &#8220;man&#8221; or partner and their children but not themselves. I take umbrage with this age-old, never talked about societal message. To celebrate oneself liberates one to celebrate the beauty in everyone.<br \/>So when people say I think I&#8217;m all that and more&#8230;.well, yes I do, as a matter of fact. I am all that and more and proud of it!<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-h9_nXB0Ujjo\/TfNoBBsbJrI\/AAAAAAAAEjg\/-zmjewNhMjk\/s1600\/ScanBaby-20.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"309\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-h9_nXB0Ujjo\/TfNoBBsbJrI\/AAAAAAAAEjg\/-zmjewNhMjk\/s320\/ScanBaby-20.jpg\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">Me, age 2, Vancouver, BC<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>So, to all of my sisters in the world,<b><i> celebrate You<\/i><\/b>, show your beauty to the world, you&#8217;re worth it.
