she took one small step...

So its been a tough week. Millions of tears shed but I stood tall like a solider and fought on!
I used that inner strength that I perhaps forget I had!
I have realised that all it takes is one small step at a time!

But  I am discovering more each day how much more strength I have.
Perhaps its just a little bit of strength I have gained, but its helping me slowly step away from things I need to step away from and step toward those things that help me and encourage me.
One of the hardest things I face is realising and then accepting that for me to be better person, it means removing this from my life and adding this instead.
Its hard and I mean real hard!

Like when I open a bag of Jelly beans,  I love sugarsugarsugar, I start with just one, and a minute later, just one  more and another minute later another one... get the idea... Its a bad habit for me!
But when your stopping this habit there becomes a change. I simply dont like change. I have fears, I have doubts and new ways I have to find to deal with change. Then comes accepting and settling into that change. But change just doesnt happen, it requires strength and a lot of guts!
It all starts by taking one small step at a time!

So again, with all that in mind I went into my studio one night this week.
