The Secrets of Empowerment
I am a survivor of rape and childhood abuse, of discrimination and poverty…I could go on. And the worst part is that my story is not unique. There are so many people who are born into a dysfunctional and diseased system like ours that feeds and protects monsters and dysfunctional people. In feeding them, it takes external power from those good or innocent people that don’t know how to or even know that they can protect their power. I have lived this myself. At my lowest point, I was completely broken. Shattered mind, heart, body and soul. But in that total destruction of my Self, I found something. Something that cannot be taken by external sources.

And when that is fully embraced and the physical outlet of that internal power is healed, there is nothing that you can’t eventually do. I went from too sick to function, unable to hold a job, dysfunctional relationships, deep unhappiness, emptiness that no food or drug could heal, and just floundering from one bad situation to another with no hope in sight to healing my body, healing my mind even though they said it wasn’t possible, having a career, healing my emptiness, and starting to have actually healthy relationships. I am not done (if there is such a thing as “done” that isn’t death.) But I am learning the secrets that are hidden in us all.
