This Sunday's Reflection...(05/19/13)

I tend to repeat myself.  A lot.  I'm aware of this.  I'm not forgetful and I don't have an illness that causes me to do this.  There are simply some things that I feel need repeated.  Often.

I hope this finds each of my readers happy and healthy.  I have finally been moved to the day shift at work which has helped my health tremendously AND is providing me time to post on Randomly Speaking, Poetically Thinking... .  I thank each of you for sticking around while I muddled through the horrific 12-16 hour night shifts that left me physically exhausted, mentally incoherent, and unable to post regularly. 

This Sunday's Reflection... (04/21/13)

The tears haven’t stopped flowing today.  Earlier I was told by someone whom claims to be a “friend” that I am TOO emotional.  

This Sunday's Reflection...(03/24/13)

I have been facing a lot of adversity in my life.  A huge portion of this is because I allowed the wrong people into my sphere, entrusting them with personal information of mine.  I then allowed them to stay longer than necessary.  When they showed me who they truly were I reacted to the hurt and I felt the hurt of every one of my abusers all over again.  I have chosen to use this as an affirmation of the work that I need to continue in breaking my own cycle.

The Positive Outweighs the Negative...

The amount of POSITIVE feedback and interaction that I have received online over the years due to the subject manner that I post on has superseded any negative interactions that have been thrown my way.  I have been contacted by mothers who are concerned about their daughter’s in their early 20’s and friends of those in abusive relationships asking, “what can I do?”  I have had both male and female victims of Domestic Violence share their stories with me.  I now receive Guest Posts from those who entrust me with their stories, who wish to use my site as an outlet to reach other people who may be experiencing or have experienced abuse.
