Welcome to my blog!
If you are anything like me, you are feeling a bit anxious about being isolated during this global pandemic and would like to talk to others that are going through some of the same things. My heart is heavy a lot of days but it is not all doom and gloom. I’m enjoying the stillness and the time to reconnect with God, my family and my friends.
As a child, I was physically, mentally and sexually abused for years. I was blessed to have my sisters with me however I did not know at that time that they were living in darkness too. My great escape was being able to go to school and to church and whatever extra-curricular activities I could get into to leave the house. I had perfect attendance for many years in a row. When I think about how the Covid-19 has made it impossible for children and others to leave their homes to their normal escape routes, it breaks my heart. There is nowhere to run when you are forced to stay in the home with your abuser.
We see the number of domestic violence cases increasing but we won’t hear much about the molestation cases increases. Mental abuse will increase as abusers find themselves in total control. The aftermath will last for years.
Some of you have survived, as have I. I am stronger and better than I have ever been in my life. It would be irresponsible of me to say that a time like now however does not take me back to that little scared girl who had limited food, an abuser 10 times my size and days that seemed to go on forever. It’s a battle to remain positive during a pandemic when you feel hopeless and there is seemingly nothing you can do. I’ve decided, this is what I can do. I can be here to talk to YOU, share insight and encourage each other as we walk through this TOGETHER. No wars have been won by lone soldiers. We will battle together against depression, fear, angry, hunger, hurt and any other stronghold that might creep up on us now!
Let’s also talk about some positive moments in our lives as they serve to shape us as well!
2 Corinthians 10:4
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

Thank you. Given what we know about each other, I truly hope we use our voices to help others and each other deal not only with the difficult issues we have already spoken about but the ones I will posting in the weeks to come.
