Encouragement Comes in Many Forms

Sometimes it seems as if no matter how hard we try we still feel like we're banging our head against the wall. Ever feel like that? Okay, if you do, it's time to change your perspective. Here's a great story to get you started.

I met a woman about two years ago. She's a lovely woman, an exceptional counselor and a terrific colleague. I almost fell on the floor when she told me she had lived on the streets for 15 years! But she did. One day she ended up in the hospital and said; ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Time to change my life. And she did. She went into detox, then rehab and then to college.

Your circumstances need not be as drastic as that, but please, feel free to share your stories here. How have you turned your life around? How have you turned a challenge into encouragement? Once we know we have so much to offer, we can give the world our great gift - us! We all have incredible talents, so go out and shine!
