I am Woman

by Elizabeth Denham

I am fun, fierce and fabulous. I am smart, driven and successful.

I am engaged in my community. I give back and pay it forward.

I am all of these things and none of these things. Because every day is a new challenge.

Every day is a new gift. There are days where success comes naturally – personally, professionally.

And there are days when success is defined by survival. I believe in the gift of the struggle. I own it. I accept it. I face it.

I believe you must embrace your reality – the good and the bad. Embrace your reality. Own your struggle.

Knowing there is a lesson to be learned, a gift to unwrap. I achieve all of these things and none of these things.

Because I am imperfect. But when I fail, I know where to look.

I look for the gift in the struggle. It is always there.
