I’m thrilled to be here, to have this opportunity to find my writing voice again! I spent my first 20 years constantly reading and writing. There were grand thoughts of becoming the first Ph.D. in my family. My parents were first generation college graduates, and I thought I could take it to the next level.
Today, looking back, I’m thankful I was raised in such a strong religious community. If I wouldn’t have had such a solid spiritual foundation; I honestly don’t think I’d still be here.
I’ve lost about 30 years worth of personal memories. With counseling, I’ve learned that can happen to us after going through years of trauma and abuse. Our household was extremely dysfunctional, full of emotional abuse, addictions, extreme anger issues, and much more.
I hear once you start truly working towards personal healing it may take the rest of your life. Now is the time to put aside my pride and honestly work towards getting back on the life path that I was meant to be on.
Thank you so much for joining me here on this lifelong healing journey, one that should have started sooner.
