Tina Turner- of her early marriage/ career …I’ll never go back

“For sixteen years, her husband beat her.

But on this night, Tina Turner washed the blood from her face, wrapped a cape around her bloodied clothes, covered her eyes with a pair of sunglasses, and placed a wrap on her head, because the swelling was so bad, she couldn’t wear her wig.

She ran out of the hotel, hid among the trash cans, and then ran to the Ramada Inn, where she begged for a room.

All she had was thirty-six cents and a Mobil credit card.

But after sixteen years of cruelty, she finally walked out on Ike Turner.

To be clear, it wasn’t easy. She was so worried about her safety, she stayed with friends, paying her way by keeping house. It got so bad that Tina Turner—the Tina Turner—had to use food stamps.

And yes, it’s incredible that Tina Turner built her career back from nothing.

But what’s even more incredible is the battle cry she repeated inside her head—the battle cry that gave her strength: “I will die before I go back.”

Never forget it: No matter how deep the hole is, you can always find a way out.

In their divorce, Tina Turner gave Ike nearly everything. All their money. And the publishing royalties for her compositions. “You take everything I’ve made in the last sixteen years,” she said. “I’ll take my future.”

Window Panes

I met this talented lady at a local restaurant/bar ,after she preformed around 2010/11, and we talked outside on a concrete bench . Speaking on spirituality , she opened her guitar case , pulled out her guitar and began to see for me . Soon a crowd gathered and I learned she was a teacher in Philadelphia and was quoting to invest in her music . She’s grown to be quite successful and travels the world , playing with famous musicians and winning awards for her unique mode of guitar playing

This is her latest release .

Here Comes The Sun

I personally own this concept , despite the challenges ❤️✌️😘🐸

Perhaps as a result of the challenges 👀

And of the generations of abuses that are cleared as I was gifted the healing support of benevolent spirit guides , angels , ancestors and teachers who are earth bound , and hold much gratitude that this is done, albeit with a few tweaks 👀😏
