Shalom Sarah,
I enjoyed reading your post, and if you don't mind I'm going to "swipe" your ACE. What a great idea.
I don't picture you as ever having lacked confidence. The impression I have of you is a go getter, sensitive to all and especially to nature and everything that surrounds us. Above all a family person, how can you not be with 7 (?) kids.
Failure is not a dirty word in my opinion. The only people who fail are those that try, take chances and risks. The question is what you do "with" the failure. If you let it break you and cause you to give up then in essence you've let negativity take control of you and your actions. On the other hand if you learn from your mistakes then inevitably good will be the outcome of the failure.
"Learn" is the key word, isn't it. It's not only a question of learning from our mistakes but learning continuously without stop. I find myself reading more and more and it's sad to say that most people don't read anymore. This is quite unfortunate and the outcome is there for all to see. Starting from kids and ending with the adults that are supposed to be their role models.
I loved your graphic, thanks for that and the motto is one that should be embraced by all. Hope you don't mind but I snitched that too. :)
Happy Holidays & Shalom,
Peter
