Why I Am Beautiful!
I am a woman of strength,
A woman of value,
A woman of beauty.
I am a survivor of molestation, sexual abuse, physical abuse and mental abuse. Molestation at the hands of one I loved, who later went on to sexually abuse me. It was my older brother who did this to me for at least 13 years. It may have been longer, but frankly I can't remember. The physical abuse was at the hands of a couple of men and the mental abuse from my father.
I have learned a lot over the past year and a half with the help of a great counselor, lots of reading, researching, and groups. My desire now is to help others begin their journey into a better place. I am still on my own journey and know that I will be on this journey most likely forever. As I grow into the person I was meant to be I heal more and more. I want to help others because I know it will help me, too.
Please join me on my journey of self exploration through my thoughts and words that I share on this site. Maybe you will see your own feelings within these words. Maybe it will spark within you something that will help you in your own healing.
