How to Find Your Value
Have you ever continually given to another person only to realize that your intentions have been taken advantage of and now you’ve suddenly become that person’s doormat? Sounds familiar?

After sifting through my memory of countless arguments and fights, I wondered what I could have done differently to handle the situation. How could I have avoided fights that led to the moments leading up to my divorce?

I looked at where I was right now in my life and the vision I made for my new life and a strong sense of comfort and peace came over me. I was right where I needed to be.
