It is exciting to hear in your posts how much stronger you feel taking your power back. Even though I was full of a lot of self doubt, moving forward and taking my power back step by step was immensely liberating!
And I love the bead idea...it reminds me of the old charm bracelets or today's version of them - beaded bracelets with each bead symbolizing something special. I think that's a fabulous idea...and one I may borrow from you... ; )
