On the best compliments I have ever received is when someone recently said to me:

 

"When I first met you,

you were like a scared little kitten hiding in the corner.

Now you are like a fierce Lion."

 

The steps forward (especially the one's we at times cannot see ourselves) are a big deal

and this picture below reminded me of this  in the most wonderful way today.

 

 

Aww, I hope this little kitty found his/her inner lion too. ♥
