I began writing poetry at age eleven; first because I was good at it and eventually as a way to give sunlight and breathing room to my wounds. I didn't have anyone I could speak to about the things I was experiencing; so paper became ears. Writing was my life because it kept me alive. It was also the first sight of worth in my life and it enabled me to attach a level of worth to my life that wasn't previously there.
Later, as my understanding of God expanded and I came to understand my spiritual birthright, I understood that my worth was beyond anything I could ever do on this earth.
I have spent the last seventeen years actively pursuing wholeness and healing. I would say that I am healed and I am whole. That doesn't mean that I have all the answers. It also doesn't mean I'm done learning or falling. But it means that I'm no longer expressing and relating from a broken place or belief.
I am a faith warrior; however I do at times get discouraged. Still, my faith always prevails. I come back every time and every time with greater conviction and a stronger voice.
Ultimately, the purpose of this blog is to support those who are attempting to initiate healing in their lives. I support them with my experiences, my faith, my revelations, and my honesty. I am committed to using my cuts, bruises, and scars to Empower, Encourage, and Enrich Lives. My ultimate goal is to break the cycle of dysfunction that I was born into and to encourage other women to do the same.
