Life is so precious... let's focus on our contribution to ourselves, this earth and all that share this life space with us.

Being a parent is so hard, but it truly brings out the best in you. It's all about the perspective and the view you choose to gaze. 

It's been a while since I recorded. 

Just like journaling I get thrown off track. But I really want to just connect with the world and connect with myself through these video diaries. 

Love, peace, confidence and gratitude is in the air. 

Does the abuse ever really stop? Can the abuser really change their ways?

Why We Blame Victims for Domestic Violence (domesticshelters.org)

*Trigger Warning*

**This episode contains details about domestic violence I have experienced. **

It feels confusing to know if you're doing the right thing, making the right choices if you have never been modeled a healthy relationship with yourself and those around you. Abuse then becomes normalized because it was the foundation and accepted as a part of my daily life and the fact that everyone around me disregarded my experience and feelings on these situations. I am no longer accepting people that devalue my trauma and no longer holding space for individuals that are willfully ignorant to the realities of the world for the sake of their fantasy. 

Hopefully my therapy can give you bits of encouragement when you feel alone. Take a long hard look within yourself and accept the love you have for yourself. Let's motivate one another through our experiences and process of healing to be the new foundation for our future generation. 

Hurt people, hurt people. But people that reflect, mirror resolution.
