It's On!

I've found that my healing is a journey. It's not a destination, it's a process. Each time I think I've arrived I find that there is more work to do. Once I conquered my Mind, I fought to return to Spirit. Now I'm fighting for my Body.


When I was on the battlefield of my Mind I thought it was the worst battle of my life. As I fought to regain control of my thoughts, change my beliefs, and reroute the negativity I tired easily. It's difficult to unlearn what has taken a lifetime to acquire. Yet I kept pushing and praying, crying and laughing, fighting and winning. I learned that I'm stronger than the enemy would have me believe.


Once I won that battle of my Mind I knew that I could go deeper and fight to return to Spirit. It was a fight to resurrect myself. If I had known that going in, I'm not so sure that I would have taken on the fight. I told God that I was ready to change and let go of ALL of the things that kept me trapped. It took seven years to get free.


It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It took longer than it should have. It hurt more than I expected. It cost more than I counted. But it was worth it.


I'm stronger. I'm better. I'm wiser. I'm still fighting.


Each time I fought I thought the battle would kill me. I tell you this because now I'm fighting for my Body. For me, this seems like the toughest fight. I think the fight you're in always seems like the worst one. But I had no idea how much pain is trapped in my cells or how much my Body has accommodated for the trauma it's been through. The Body remembers things that the Mind forgets.


Have you ever gone for a run or had an intense workout and you cried? This is called an emotional release. In addition to all the wounds that you can see, your Body harbors stress, pain, memories, trauma, and unseen issues that occasionally manifest during physical activity. You don't have to be overweight for this to happen. It can happen to anyone.


I never thought that I'd share this part of my healing with you but here I am. Someone needs to know that the fight for your life -- the fight to align Mind, Body, and Spirit is real. To walk in the life that God ordained for you requires fighting in each of these areas.


So, here I go. I'm a Warrior in every sense of the word. The fight to bring my Body into alignment may be the hardest battle yet but I'm determined to win. Pray for me as I pray for you. We can win together.


I'm fighting for greater health and that means losing weight, gaining muscle, making better choices, and dealing with the emotional release that seems to pop up at the most awkward moments. It's a battle that I intend to win. It's on!

Buried Alive (The REAL Reason for L.A.M.B.S.)

As a child, I was molested by my babysitter and by a family member. As a teenager, boys from my neighborhood raped me. The first time I was molested, I thought the child in me died. I lost my innocence, sense of wonder, trust, optimism, stability, happiness, and other things that I didn’t discover until I got older. As a woman, I have repeatedly relived every painful moment and result of the abuse, and I have realized that the little girl in me didn’t die...she was buried alive. When I thought about my life and burst into tears, the little girl was mourning. When I had trouble trusting people and forming relationships, the little girl was resisting. When I insisted on controlling everything around me, the little girl needed structure and security. When I functioned in chaos while everyone around me was falling apart, the little girl was making sense of it all, so that she could go on living. For years, I struggled with the dichotomy of self. There was the strong and confident wom

DYM: The Wonder Years

I wonder how much different things would be Dear younger me Our minds have the ability to dream about the future and remember the past.  I’d bet that most of us spend our time thinking about what we could have or should have done differently. We spend countless hours, days, and years replaying events and wondering what would have happened if we made a different choice. We ask ourselves questions like: What if I’d fought harder? What if I’d gone to school when I had the chance? What if I’d asked for more money when I took the job? What if I’d stayed instead of leaving? What if I’d left when it happened the first time? What if I’d chosen a different profession? What if I’d chosen a different mate? What if . . . and the list goes on. We spend the precious time that we have now running through scenarios that could have, maybe, possibly changed our current situation. We play the blame game. We cry. We get angry. We. Waste. Time.  I believe the only reason we sh
