A few words about me and my contact information

Picture of high self esteem

Hello!

My name is Michelle and I live in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Where the winters are harsh and the summers are awesome.

Now that I’m old enough to know how truly lucky I am to live here I really enjoy it.

I currently work for a local hospital in the IT department as a computer technician. Which is about 30 miles away from where I live, so I like when we have mild winters, like the one that just got over.

Anyways at work I’m known as the happy girl. People often tell me that I’m too happy. Or they’ll ask me, “What you so happy about?”

Oh, if they only knew…

I wasn’t always smiles and sunshine when I was younger. I suffered a great deal from low self esteem.

It all started when I was in grade school. Don’t ask me exactly what happened but something did. And it continued until I was 21 years old.

How it all began...

I lived with my mother, father and 3 sisters. My parents were alcoholics. My dad worked in the woods and my mom stayed home with us until my youngest sister started school.

Ya, we were poor but we never truly went without what was necessary to live.

We lived in a trailer and I can remember clearly not wanting any of my friends to come to my house.

When I did finally allow it, I was so nervous of what they would think of me that I could hardly handle the 30 minute drive from school to home.

It about killed me!

Then came high school...

You know I wanted to fit in, right.

I did a lot of parting. Lots of drugs. And yup I also did my fair share of sleeping around. Life sucked but I kept doing the same things over and over and over again. I knew I wasn’t enjoying myself or having any real fun. But I kept at it for the next 5 years.

But flowers do blossom.

At the age of 21 I hit rock bottom. I was fed up with life and the way that I was living. I had to change.

I had an AHA moment and realized that I was suffering from low self esteem. It’s amazing what awareness will do for you.

Once I understood what was wrong with me it made it easier to change. Not easy, but easier.

And my personal development began.

I picked up a tape program at the local Good Will store. It was The Psychology of Achievement by Brian Tracy. It changed my life.

It pushed me down the path of self discovery. It made me believe that I could be somebody. That I could live an outstanding life.

Yes even I could feel good about myself. Even after everything I’d done the last 10 years. I was still capable and loveable.

I know everyone says it but here it goes. Are you ready?

Yes if I can do it so can you. I built my self esteem. I changed the way I thought about myself. I began to love and accept myself for who I was.

I went to work on myself and found out who I was and more importantly I found out who I wasn’t.

And I was not the shy girl with my head hanging low, doing whatever I could to make people love and accept me. I finally realized I was looking in the wrong places. I was looking outside of myself. A place that could never give me what I was truly seeking.

That’s why I created this site. I want to help others who suffer from low self esteem. All of you who are looking in the wrong places for the love and acceptance you need to survive and thrive in this world.
