The first entry is always the hardest

I have wanted to resume writing for a long time. You see, I used to write daily and it aided in my recovery. Recovery from what? LIFE! Childhood was traumatic; Adolescence was misguided and frantic and spent on survival; Adulthood was treading water.

Along the way I met dragons and knights and maidens in distress. I used magic potions and cast spells and fought dragons. I yearned for the rescuer on a white horse to take me away. The only rescuer I found lived within myself and did the best they could. But when you have only lived on survival and learned how to nurture and love and care from people who had NO idea what those words meant, the only way you know how to rescue may be a bit twisted or misguided, so I learned to numb. Numb with drugs, alcohol, sex, drama, zoning out.

Finding my way out of these things has been interesting, rewarding, hard, confusing, slow, fitful.

Join me on my way. Don't judge. Accept us and pray for us and let us know that with God all things are possible.

Thanks for taking a few steps with me.
