10 Day Challenge

Tomorrow I start the Women's Services and Resources 10 Day Recapturing Beauty Challenge. Let's be honest here: I want the shirt.

I feel like I don't have that much to learn from this challenge. Day 1's challenge, for example, is to not weigh myself. Hello, I don't do that anyway. I have more thoughts on the subject, but I figure I should keep them to myself until tomorrow's journal entry for the challenge.

But I stand by this quote found on my challenge calender:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure... We ask ourselves: 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world."

My first summer as a CA Boyd printed out that quote for me. I find that we are always comparing ourselves to others. I know that I find myself comparing myself to the greatness of others all the time. But who am I not to be great as well? I am Jessica, and I am my own kind of wonderful.

Bring on the challenge.
