  We all carry scars in our life.  We carry scars from our upbringing.  We carry scares from our childhood relationships, as well as our adult relationships.  We carry scars from our intimate relationships.  We also carry the scars of our drive to successful lives and scars from the failures in our lives.  We women specialize in carrying scars from trying to remain attractive everyday.  And for those of us women who become mothers, we carry the scars of childhood.  All of our scars comes with some lesson of our humanity and the world around us.  We can look at our scars in one of two ways.  We can see them and cower or shrink from the lessons they've taught us.  Or we can stand tall and take ownership that we survived the scars that came with the lessons we've learned. I adore my life scars.  I've learned from the emotional scars from my failed marriage.  I embrace the stretch mark scars on my belly from my three children....
