What can I say about myself that may have meaning to others? Perhaps this: I have had a particularly difficult first few decades in my life, much pain and suffering at the hands of those I thought loved me. For those of you who can identify with pain and suffering I would offer to you the following. If you hold onto Love, hold onto your higher power, stay true to the very best ideals that you hold dear, and never give up, give in, or stop striving for something better, I can attest that you can reach healing and move beyond the pain and truly find happiness. Even to the point where you can bless your life, difficulties and all, and say, it was all worth it. I’m proud of the work I’ve done in this life and I hope that I can make a difference to someone else’s life as well. Thanks for allowing me to share!
