Beginning to Heal

                                                 

I believe I was given the gift of writing to empower others. For the majority of my life, I have run from this gift and most times intentionally neglected it. It wasn’t until recently though, I realized just how important it is. Although I am a novice writer, it is my hope that the words I communicate gives a voice to someone who may not feel they have one. 

It is my goal to not only use it as an instrument to reach the deepest places of your mind but to also use it as an instrument to encourage you. You no longer have to concede to the torment of your past. Instead harness the power you possess to discover healing in your present. 

After hiding my abuse for 30 years, I reached a point in my life that I could no longer keep this secret hidden within me. I was no longer able to function effectively through my day to day processes. The one secret that I vowed to take to the grave with me, the one that had smoldered within me for several decades, the one that I had learned to be “ok” with, would now be the one thing to lead to  detrimental consequences in my life . So, here I am telling my story to the world. This is why I write. If sharing my story can help you share yours, then my writing has accomplished what it was intended for. So please share your story. 

This is the perfect platform for you to do so because it was created for you. You are not alone anymore. It does get better. It is a long journey but it gets better. So I encourage you to reach out and find support in others who have gone through it, like me. 

    Share your story and let’s continue to heal together.
