Tip #99. Get some folded notes with just your first name on them and use them proudly. Write notes to people on your own personal stationery. Be proud of who you are on your own. Reinforce the idea (to yourself and to others) that you are a confident, accomplished, worthy woman on your own. In fact, this may be the first time in a long time that you completely celebrate who you are as an individual. I spent 33 years as a certain Mrs. Somebody. At the time, I loved that role. I cherished that role. But now, that first role no longer applies to me. I had to grieve the loss of that title, and it took me longer than I wanted to get over that loss. But now, I am a woman on a completely new journey. It’s a journey to embrace and enjoy. My life now is a fresh opportunity for me to make contributions to the world in brand new ways. And I am discovering that those adventures are invigorating. For instance, I have been speaking around this country, and now I have a chance to go to Nigeria to help women in that country going through divorce. Explore the ways you want to give to the world now. You will be absolutely amazed at the doors that will open if your new self is willing!
