2A Daily News – Wednesday, August 10, 2011 Community people&events Reflections from the mirror I am the worst that anyone can say about me. I have cheated on people, I have lied. I have coveted things that other peo- ple have had. I have been jealous, I have gossiped. I have thought wrong thoughts and I have regrets. These things are a reality and a part of my life. I am the best that anyone can say about me. I am loving; my family loves me back. I have given things to other people who have desired to have them. I have been forgiving and accepted apologies even when they weren’t sincere. I have made changes in my life that make me a better per- son. I have hopes and plans. These things are a reality and a part of my life. When I look in the mirror I see a 42 year old woman who is trying to stave off the effects of living in Northern California without the benefit of sun- screen education as a child. I see a woman who has had a colorful life and come out a life-long learner and seek- er of truth; truth about myself and about human nature. I see a mother who loves her children fiercely and who has dedicated herself to giving Courtesy photo Matthew and Amber Shobash, a son, Trenton Alexander Shobash, 6 pounds, 2 ounces, born Friday, July 29, 2011, at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital in Red Bluff.

I see a woman who has grown to accept her body and appreciate it despite its size, gravity and my unending desire to find great jeans. When I look in the mir- ror before and after work, I see a woman who is sad to be downsized, but happy to do meaningful work that impacts the lives of others. I long to wear heels and suits again, but am grateful to wear casual clothes too. When I look in the mir- you have regrets, because it means you took risks or that you made mistakes that you own. I hope you have love. I hope that love sustains you when others tell you that you are unlovable. I hope you have passion for a cause other than yourself. I hope that passion rocks boats and you feel the delightful fire of taking a stand. Faydra Rector Life Coach ror, I see a woman who seems to rock the boat from time to time, but knows without a doubt that passion and interest in things outside of my home and imme- diate family comes with a price tag that sometimes briefly breaks the bank. What do you see when you look in the mirror? I hope you see a beautiful combination of the worst and the best labels anyone can throw your way. I hope you see your beauty, I hope you see the years of choosing-both good and bad in the reflection. I hope I hope you feel a mod- icum of pride because you know that despite the good and the bad, life is a journey marked by visits to the mirror where you can reflect on what you see. I am the worst that anyone can or has said about me. I am the best as well. So are you.
