Self Image and the Ostomate
There are women in my life who are not mothers, and each year, when we celebrate Mothers Day, I feel awkward. So I have decided that in addition to Happy Mother’s Day, I am also saying Happy Ladies’ Day, a celebration for all women…they certainly deserve it.
We may celebrate differently, we may eat different foods, we may even search for different things (Easter Eggs or Afikomen, which is matzoh) but we are all looking for the same thing, I believe…health, happiness, peaceful times, and blessings for all we love and adore.
There is so much more to be done to provide for ostomates, and I am fully committed to do whatever I can in that regard. My passion brings me fulfillment and moves me to do more. At a time in my life that felt like I may no longer be relevant, I have found challenges and accomplishments. I encourage you to find yours, because in my heart, I know confidence comes from doing and giving!
