My name is Nickel. 
I affirm to be patient 
and accept others as they are. 
This includes myself. 
I am the avatar of any of the following: 
Penny Lee Madden, aka: Miss Penny, 
Penny McInnis, Penny Joyce, Penny Deere. 

I dress casually,
with little make up, minimal jewelry.  
I no longer color my hair to hide invading gray. 
Matter of fact, I embrace the change,
letting my character shine through. 
I refuse to put on airs; I am well adjusted, 
strolling through the world with purpose, 
not overpowering others. 
I'm comfortable in my own skin. 
I am respected and determined.

Penny Lee Deere 
is one of my hardest, even harmful critics. 
I was created to assist her with her egos 
who drag her down, keep her submerged. 
I, Nickel, will provide her the lifelines 
she currently needs to stay afloat 
and move on to a place 
where she is confidant, feels safe. 
I will gladly go ashore when she no longer needs me.
