  “Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.” ~ Omar N. Bradley This pretty much sums up my vaginismus journey. I pushed through it and put on a “its no big deal” front but I was scared I would never be “fixed.

  “Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.”
  – Ambrose Redmoon

  This quote really pushes me. It let’s me know that it’s okay for me to have the fear but I have to ensure that the fear I have is less important than the things I want in life (to consummate my marriage, have a family, enjoy being “normal”).

  One step back doesn’t mean you’re defeated, it only means you’re going to take the same step forward again, but this time, WISER…janMD

  This one definitely hits home for me being that I will have the surgery for the 2nd time on August 13th (the first go around would be 3 years ago this November). I am definitely taking the same step of courage forward but this time there are some pretty big differences…definitely wiser this go around!

  If I can’t fix everything today, I’ll just fix one thing.
  If I can’t help myself, I’ll just help another.
  If I can’t lift my hand, I’ll just lift my finger.
  If I can’t run, I’ll just walk.
  If I don’t know how I’ll go on, I’ll just go on anyway without knowing how.
  If I don’t know where I’m going, I’ll just keep going somewhere.
  Today, I’ll do something that I think I can’t do, and then I’ll know that I can do something.
  I have the world at my fingertip.
  ~ Jean-Guy Martin

  One day and one moment can define the months and years from that point forward. But HOW it defines your life is a result of the decisions you make including the decision to be thankful in all things; to love yourself and others through it; to make changes where necessary; and to let the love of others be felt to your core even when you think you are strong and can conquer it all alone!

  Hi all. I received this in an e-mail this morning and wanted to share:

  “Today may there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise, and love. It is there for each and every one of us.”

  “Self-esteem creates natural highs. Knowing that you’re lovable helps you to love more. Knowing that you’re important helps you to make a difference to others. Knowing that you are capable empowers you to create more. Knowing that you’re valuable and that you have a special place in the universe is a serene spiritual joy in itself.” Louise Hart

  I wanted to add Katie’s excellent quote to this thread:

  “I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going. And I have trained myself to love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight. And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to. But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

  Let’s keep it going. Can you think of any quotes to inspire???
