I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..

Be that woman 👩

Be the kind of woman you want to call when things go wrong.

Be the motivator, the encourager of dreams.

Be the kind of fierce friend you want to have yourself.

Love your girlfriends deeply, they are your sister warriors in this world and only they know just what a crazy, hormonal ride womanhood really is.

Be loyal, love hard.

Be a soulmate, be a sister.

Be strong, be kind.

Listen hard and laugh lots.

Tell the truth but keep the secrets.

Big up everyone you meet.

Kind words travel endlessly.

If you can’t say anything nice, look more closely.

Spread the sparkle of a smile and a compliment whenever you can.

There is room for us all to be happy and successful.

Lend a hand if you’re there already.

Pull your girls up.

Push them if you need to.

Straighten each other’s crowns, spot the lipstick on the teeth and the loo paper on the shoes.

Avoid the drama, smile at the haters, they’re actually admiring you from afar.

Between Worlds

She’s in between worlds right now. A part of her is leaving. But it’s not like before. She’s holding space this time. Not sweating it, but breathing beyond her skin. She’s good.

She’s even shape-shifting. The raven. The owl. She’s unafraid of the bird’s-eye view, and unlike all those other times, she isn’t scared of the unknown. She’s present and neither timid nor bold.

It feels beautiful, like the song of a blackbird, and frightening, like the rumble of an avalanche.

•

Grow, heal, shape shift and evolve. That’s what it’s all about – I hope this resonates with you as much as it did with me.

With love

Teach the Children – Mary Oliver 🙏

Often referred to as ‘ rewilding ‘

“Teach the children. We don’t matter so much, but the children do. Show them daisies and the pale hepatica. Teach them the taste of sassafras and wintergreen. The lives of the blue sailors, mallow, sunbursts, the moccasin-flowers. And the frisky ones–inkberry, lamb’s-quarters, blueberries. And the aromatic ones–rosemary, oregano. Give them peppermint to put in their pockets as they go to school. Give them the fields and the woods and the possibility of the world salvaged from the lords of profit. Stand them in the stream, head them upstream, rejoice as they learn to love this green space they live in, its sticks and leaves and then the silent, beautiful blossoms. Attention is the beginning of devotion.”

– Mary Oliver
