Welcome, welcome, welcome! Wow, my first post here! Eeeekk! I finally decided to spread my wings and launch out beyond my social pages!! Whew, let me tell you what a journey it has been! As you get to know more about me and my blog, you’ll see they are powered by an inspirational quote that I ‘borrowed’ to spearhead my current mood or a topic that’s currently on my mind. 😉 Today’s quote, “When you can tell the story and it doesn’t bring up any pain, you know it is healed.” ~ Iyanla Vanzant
Just in case you haven’t read my bio, I want you to know that I am a domestic violence survivor and veteran single mom. For a long, long time, I wasn’t able to tell my story, yet the time did come and I faced all kinds of emotions. What lead me to really opening up about sharing all that happened to me was understanding the power behind it all. Stories can be extremely healing, not only for the person doing the telling, but those listening as well. Then it also allows the storyteller to pass on their wisdom to others! I know for me, being able to share my experiences gave me the opportunity to find my voice as well and in turn, helped me transition from being a victim to a survivor.
When I first started sharing stories, I couldn’t speak without feeling a lot of pain and anger! And I felt it showed!!!! In time however, it has subsided and I have found a peace like no other! So I am saying to you….please TRUST that TIME HEALS all!!!! The most important thing is that you SHARE your story and talk with others so that you may not only HEAL yourself, but help you spread AWARENESS for all that you are passionate about and help OTHERS HEAL as well……xo!
Always my pleasure to guide you, Purple Diva
