I’d have to say that 16 was the toughest age for me. I remember being confused about so many things…dealing with pressures from school, my parents, boys, and friends. It felt like the whole world was on my shoulders and no one around me really understood what I was going through. I wanted to reach out to all of the young ladies out there because I wish there had been someone in my life who could have helped me get my mind right and let go of all the nonsense that was holding me back. I want to be that someone for you.First, I need all of you to start recognizing what you are worth. Being a woman is a special and unique gift that comes along with special and unique responsibilities. Since the beginning of time women have been the backbone of our society, responsible for everything from giving birth to feeding and caring for entire villages and communities. Being a woman is a powerful thing, so powerful that it’s hard for me to understand how so many young women waste that power on people and situations that are not worthy of them. A lot of the girls that I speak with have never has anyone tell them that they are special so they really don’t know. If this is true for you, let me be the first.Regardless of what you’ve been through, what you’ve done, or what mistakes you have made, you are beautiful and wonderful inside and out. No matter what anyone has done to you or told you, you are special and you have the power to achieve whatever you want for your life. I know this about each and every one of you, and I don’t even know you. The toughest part is getting you to believe it about yourself. Once you start to recognize your worth, everything about you, and around you will change for the better.Over the next few months, I will continue to reach out to the ladies, with information specifically targeted to issues you may be facing. I welcome your questions, suggestions and feedback.Courtneywww.guideourgirls.ning.com
