Look at you . . . confidence is written all over your face. It’s practically oozing out of every pore. This is a new you, a different you, a better you, a more confident you. That woman who used to be apprehensive, who used to be unsure, who used to be afraid . . . well, she’s gone. In her place is a self-assured woman, a decisive woman, a woman who is secure in herself and it shows.

Okay, let’s get real: midlife confidence is empowering. But perhaps you aren’t at the point where you want to be in your badassery. That’s okay. Think small steps. Like life, it’s an incremental process. At times you’ll progress in a straight line while, at other times, you may stumble and fall or take a step or two backward. That too is okay. It’s all about progress. To feel good about yourself and exude confidence is in your control.

Let me repeat that: To feel good about yourself and exude confidence is in your control!

Well will you looky there — that woman is YOU!
