Hi, my name is Jennifer, but I created and use the brand name Rafini’s Voice to represent my creative and online self. I am a writer, memoirist, photographer, and now I can add blogger to the list. Oh, yeah. And the image on the left is my cat, Joon. I lost her last year when I had to remodel my bathroom, and there was a way for her to get outside through the missing floor.
This blog is about self-acceptance, something I’ve struggled with after years of living a life based on the inaccurate assumption presented to me as a child that self-denial provides unlimited potential and benefits. Perhaps it was a lesson I was supposed to have learned quickly. That the only benefit to self-denial is misunderstanding the pain associated with the behavior. I failed to learn that lesson until recently – decades later. Now that I’ve learned the lesson I am ready to act, which translates into learning how to use my voice and using it to its full potential.
