While the year is still fresh, I’d like to share this message on mistakes by Oprah Winfrey with you.

It doesn’t have to completely resonate with you, but I hope you find something in it to be affirming and encouraging.

I can definitely say that many of the most devastating “no’s” I’ve experienced have led to even greater “yes’s” down the road that I could not have previously anticipated.

We are more than the closed doors, or the “failures” we have experienced.

This can be a good reminder of the importance of listening to ourselves, and what is happening to and around us, so we can change directions when necessary.

I’m archiving this here now, as I may need to refer back to it at some point.
