For a long while I have known I needed to write to keep my sanity, to keep me from being sucked into the black hole. I love to express my thoughts, feelings, and sometimes even my opinions through my writing. I recognize it is a gift I have been blessed with. I refrain from being judgmental because I “got my own stuff”. Trauma and tragedy are events. Healing is a journey. There is much truth to the cliche, “Hurt People, Hurt People”. However, conversely, “Healed People, Heal People”. This is “My Healing Journey”. I choose to be open, honest and transparent as I share the good, the bad, the ugly and every thing in between. It is my desire that as I help myself, I will help others.
