That this site is called Empowering For Change may seem ironic, since your first challenge (and likely an ongoing one) is SELF-ACCEPTANCE, embracing yourself EXACTLY AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW. SELF-ACCEPTANCE (and the interrelated terms Self-Worth, Self-Respect and Self-Esteem) acknowledges the qualities we would love to "tweak" while we continue to love and fully accept our True Self. Whether you have
children/ teens/ young adults you care about - or wish to make a
difference in the lives of others in your world - explore the articles, materials, and links you find here. As you demonstrate the kind of personal power that leads to self-acceptance, may your life become a source of inspiration for others to emulate! |  Billie Willmon Jenkin Educator, Author, Presenter, Self-Acceptance Guru

on the increase, self-worth takes on vital meaning. The PDF at the left gives a brief
