I've always been an emotional being.  I cry at commercials.  I get teary-eyed any time I watch my kids do something cool.  I feel things ALL THE TIME.  And for so long I've pushed that down, I've let it be hidden.  I've let people make fun of me for being "so emotional".  In reality, when you let yourself FEEL your feelings you start to learn so much about yourself.  You discover things and figure out how to process them and work through them.  So, STOP letting people dismiss your emotions as being due to PMS, or just being a woman.  Emotions are part of who YOU are and you get to honor that!!
