I have overcome, challenge, after challenge, walking down my path in the face of fear. Not allowing anything to stop me from walking forward on this divine journey God has been leading me down.

Leaving behind, people, places, and things that were only keeping me from becoming my true self, keeping me small. Instead of being resentful, I chose forgiveness, I have forgiven everyone from my past. I send love, and light to them all.

I really had to dive deep within me, to understand that hurt people, hurt people. What did I do with all that pain? I used it to fuel my art, I turned all the pain and sadness into art, stitching my cute little bag, it has been my saving grace. The process helps to release the pain in a creative way, I have also been writing, this blog has also been huge in helping with my perspectives.

Learning to understand the why this has happened, having empathy, pulling out the lessons, wisdom, helps me to see the other side, also allows me to release it. It’s not mine to carry, not my responsibility, realizing that created so much peace inside my mind, body, soul, and spirit.

I am not perfect, I used to be a hurt person, who hurt people. I am choosing to learn and grow from those old versions of myself. To create the change to stop the toxic cycle. God forgives, I am grateful for that forgiveness. Amen!
