I was recently reminded of how resilient I am. How resilient we all are. I was asked to think about a time when I didn’t think I was going to overcome a challenge but did. I’ve had many challenging times in my life, but the one that stands out to me most was what I went through after my husband left me with what felt like pieces of myself scattered all over the floor. 

Rejection happens to everyone. It can come in the form of being overlooked for a promotion or being turned down by a potential date. Rejection happens to me quite frequently. This type of rejection is not work related, relationship related, or health related. It’s the rejection that comes from literary magazines where I send a piece of myself, of my writing, to potentially be shared with a bigger audience. No one else, except for me, or a few close people I choose to share it with, know about it.
