Thank you for taking a moment to connect with me. Today, I write to you about creation. I’ve noticed these last six months that my life is truly a creation by which I get to determine how it looks. I know it sounds a bit wild, however, I must admit, that even as a therapist, a supervisor, a business owner, a mom, and a strong, independent woman, I honestly always believed that my life was the product of what other people said it was. If someone said I was controlling, well.... especially if they were influential in my life, I believed them to be true. I listened to what others said and thought, and those opinions were my definitions of who and what I was in the world. It’s only been recently that I can genuinely say, “Does that line up with the life I want?” and if the answer is no, I can subtly discard it as though it’s a stick floating downstream in a river. I want to create a life that is surrounded with possibilities, hope, growth, expansion, openness, willingness, listening, kindheartedness, genuineness, humility, friendship and love. I want to create a life where my world looks open and ready, able and interested, in being good by itself. So I look at this world I have folded into. I look at the mission to end child abuse and neglect. I look and hear my voice speaking out and up about the possibility... and I know, while a small few doubt me, judge me, and even criticize me, I know, I AM CREATING A LIFE THAT IS POSSIBLE. Want to join me? Let’s just start with some really cool things... First: We have an anonymous community now where survivors can go and talk, ask questions, vent, and get supported by their peers. You can check it out here. Second: We are ready for volunteers. We need people to help spread the word, plan events, coordinate community engagement, and so much more. This is going to take an army- join us in changing the world. <3 You can sign up to volunteer here. Lastly: Our website is ready and rockin’. Our team has been hard at work these last six months rebuilding, rebranding, expanding, informing and working toward the change we need to see in the world. So check it out, sign the pledge, get information, and join us. See you soon. All my love, |
