My acronym F-O-R-G-I-V-E ="Freedom" to let go of past emotions. With an "Open" heart to create self-love and to "Reach" out to receive help. Believe you are a "GIFT" to the world and that your light needs to shine to help others RISE up and follow your "Intuition" by following your "values" in first giving yourself "empathy" then spread that to the world through the eyes of LOVE!

Someone out there needs to know they are not alone and that they can survive. Perhaps you are a parent or friend of someone trapped in an abusive relationship and need to know how to help. My goal is to share awareness, offer empowerment, and educate others about emotional traumas and domestic abuse. Here I will share my story and also stories of courage and healing from Survivors, Coaches, to Therapists/Counselors.
