We grieve the things we can and cannot see. Grief is having or losing a baby, children, leaving home, saying hello to a new friend and goodbye to another, starting or finishing school, divorce, buying or losing a house, leaving, or starting a job, illness, and death. Have you ever loved someone or something and it went away, and you did not understand how or why.
Invisible, 2023
As 2015 slowly walks away, we all have gone through things that are embarrassing and we do not want to share. There are sensitive topics that need to come to the surface, to get help, to heal, and to move forward. Surround yourself around productive people. Have a prosperous 2016!
Peace & Blessings
Life takes some crazy turns. We love when the sun shines, yet we do not like the rain. When the rain comes … the grass grows. I am an example of growth from trials and tribulations. When a challenging situation knocks at your door … remember the sun will shine again. Hold that head up and continue on your path.
The breast cancer survivor’s spa is a day to celebrate survivors. Reverend Louise A. Battle has been cancer free for 8 years. This monster has no regard for color, sex, or religion and has no mercy.
Please do a breast self-examination once a month, so that you are familiar with how your breasts look. If there are any changes, notify your health provider.
Thou Shall Not introduces a short story called “Speak Up”, which will have you on the edge from the beginning to the end. Sexual abuse bombards Tegan & Sage’s lives and those around them.
My story is included in “Speak Up”, which dug up so much pain that needed to be dealt with. This delicate, but helpful piece has allowed me to be free of burdens that held me captive. This hard-covered publication reflects the consequences of sexual abuse and will change the way you address this type of trauma.
My story is someone else’s story.
Welcomed with open arms at Kaiser Permanente.
Thank you Sandy Romero & the Capitol Hill staff for your continued support! We speak on everyday realities in our writing that affect us all.
Life has some challenging moments. As much as we would love to have a perfect life, this is not the way the story goes. Go above, around, or on the side in order to deal with your past. Surround yourself around positivity and turn your thoughts into action. Your action becomes your mission.
Do not be ashamed of the things you have been through and do not be ashamed to be you. Talk about issues that have caused you pain and find ways to deal with them instead of avoidance. Embrace life with both hands.
June 27, 2015, was amazing, my mother and I celebrated the publishing of our third book each. We appreciate each person that supported us, in the pouring rain. We shared the story behind our writing and how it will change your life.
