Three ways that I have Grown in the last year:

• I'm starting to get comfortable with being "my age". I may look young but I'm not 20 anymore
• FINALLY acknowledging that I am GIRLY Girl. I like frills, clothes, even pink in small doses. Yes I own Maribou slippers in pink AND white.
• Using Self awareness to help make better choices for me.

This was a fun exercise. I have done it before - each year actually. I am going to be moving through the book faster in the beginning to catch up to actual calendar week that we are at. So for awhile you will see 2 exercizes per week.
