Sheila shares her journey in terms of it being a movie. Some scenes are longer than we would like and we would prefer to edit other scenes. But, remember the scenes that you want to disappear are just short periods of a much longer movie: an unwritten movie that you are empowered daily to write and direct as you will. Putting yourself first allows you to place it all in perspective. It also allows you to see your strength and resilience. She discusses looking at the patterns of our resilience, and realizing that life is full of seasons. Seasons change. You may have to repurpose some things and designate other things for a different purpose but stay on the journey to loving yourself.
