Thank you, Chris! 😊🙏🏻 This practice that you suggested has brought so much value to me and I'm planning to make it a monthly routine ✨ I'll look back on these memories and words of affirmation whenever I'm feeling down 🥺🤍

Thank you so much, Karen! I really appreciate your presence and support 🙏🏻💖 I didn't expect this opportunity too but I'm so grateful! I think this is really the power of putting yourself out there even if you're not yet completely confident—you open yourself to unexpected opportunities and adventures ✨

I'll keep improving myself and sharing what I've learned! Let's grow together 🥰

Thank you for the mention 😊

I'm still trying to fathom the fact that someone could actually leave you a negative comment on something??!!You handled it well though!

Thank you Stephanie 💖 It was really shocking for me too 🥲 But I don't take it personally because that person's actions say a lot more about them than about me. I'm just grateful that there are hundreds more people who support me 💖

What a great idea this is, I love how you've implemented this Alea.

I saw Chris' post on keeping a positivity file but as usual I didn't follow through, it's great to see the results of something like that, so many lovely comments. All well deserved!

I bet your mom is really proud of you, and she definitely should be!
