Juliet Barriffe
The author stood looking at her reflection in the mirror hanging on the entrance door to her room. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she spoke to her reflection, “Mirror, mirror, looking at you and seeing me has awakened the light in my eyes which shines from the glow within my being, and I love what I’m seeing.” To which the reflection in the mirror replied, “You have walked within your strength. You have stood tall at your height; years have done you well into today and tomorrow is yet to tell.” My reflection has spoken my truth.
I am a petite woman who gained strength and has structured myself from the past with the determination of moving on in life by embracing nature and the wonders of God. There I hope to continue to be comforting and encouraging others.
As a mother, my prayers and dreams are to continue sowing good seeds in the lives of my daughters and now my grandchildren, as well as other young people I encounters and also adults. As for having a relationship with my Lord and Savior, it allows me to exercise the grace I have encountered with the Savior to others.
