So thrilled to get a box full of goodies from The Gracie Foundation this morning! They’re a nonprofit that sends care packages to women going through cancer treatment. What a sweet little pick me up with thoughtful gifts like a lavender candle, notepad, body care items, and a lovely mug for my spiced vanilla tea. So thoughtful.

Since I first decided to share my story with other

Since I first decided to share my story with others, I have been sharing this every year on the first day of Sexu@l Ass@ult Awareness Month. It has become easier each year because I’ve seen how powerful my story is and the impact it has made. Sharing my story has opened the door for me to experience deep connection with people who have their own stories to tell but aren’t ready to yet. I’ve supported and celebrated others when they reclaimed their voices and spoke about their own experiences.

Opening up about my past allows me to be present with people during some of the most painful and difficult times of their lives, and I will continue share my story to minister to their hearts the way so many others have ministered to mine. (Original post in the comments)

This came up in my FB memories. 16 years ago. Ahhh

This came up in my FB memories. 16 years ago. Ahhh…the days of freckles instead of wrinkles, natural hair color, and when lining the lower lash line was still acceptable. Those were the days. Or were they?

I’ve been reflecting on this picture, on this person, and thinking about all that’s happened since then. There have been plenty of dents, fender benders, and a couple of straight up head on collisions since that picture was taken.

The woman in that picture couldn’t have imagined the road that brought her from there to here…from being her to becoming me. If I could go back knowing what I know now, would I change anything? Would I swerve to miss some of the damage I’ve endured? If you know my story, it may surprise you to know the answer to that question is no.

It’s been a long road, but I’ve been learning to appreciate the woman I am now - scrapes, scratches, and all. I’m accepting that what I have to offer the world has been made richer and more valuable because I’ve lived through the harrowing wreckage and paradoxically come out better than I was before.

I have more strength, courage, empathy, wisdom, and understanding than the woman in that picture. I have a deeper faith and a more intimate relationship with God because everything I’ve been through has revealed a little more of God’s nature. I’ve experienced His goodness and witnessed just what a personal god he is as He has led me through an intense process of healing.

Don’t get me wrong…if you look back at the events of my life over the last 20-ish years, there are many things I *never* would’ve chosen, but now that I’ve been through them and have done the hard work AND received the grace to heal, I wouldn’t trade any of it. I’ve learned to embrace the work it’s done in me and harness the power of helping others through sharing my story.

So, as fresh-faced as I was in that pic, I’ve accepted that every subsequent wrinkle tells a story. Every gray hair whispers of the grit and the grace that have made me into the woman I am today, and today, I can look in the mirror and acknowledge them for the badges of honor they are.
