The universe has been showering me with blessings. In no particular order, here are some of the gifts that have been raining down upon me:
• My daughter took me on a cruise – my first ever – for my birthday.
• I’m taking Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University course. You can check out my progress at: http://www.ayearofcommoncents.blogspot.com/.
• My brain has finally convinced my heart to let go of the pain and shame of years of abuse I suffered throughout my childhood and teen years.
• I realize that not only did I survive, but I’m actually beginning to thrive!
I have a story to tell that can help others who have been abused. I know fear and shame and hiding in plain sight and secrets and ugly truths. I know hopelessness, and shadows on the soul. I know about baby steps forward and giant leaps backward. I know the comfort and safety found in oblivion, the faith and trust in no one and no thing.
I have a story to tell. It’s time I write it.
Until next time,
“I have seen the sea when it is stormy and wild; when it is quiet and serene; when it is dark and moody. And in all its moods, I see myself.” ~ Martin Buxbaum
