Someone asked me if I knew you
a million memories flashed through my mind
I just smiled and said I used to!
There is joy in Moving on

Allow no one to Break Your Self-confidence
She Rises From the Ashes
She rises from the ashes of her pain
It was not easy but she dug deep inside
and found an inner strength to get her through it.
Now she is not afraid to face her fears
She is not afraid to stand tall and shine
She holds her head high with confidence
And she will rise and keep on rising.
Poetry
Love Found Me
You unlocked the door to my heart
I thought I had locked it and threw
away the key, but you found it
and you freed me.
It’s enough to hear you whisper
I love you so much dear.
But it’s ever nicer that you take the time
To show me how much you care.
She Dreams of Love
She dares to be a dreamer
she believes in love,
and even when doubt assails her
her heart still holds on.
For what is life without love
and to have someone to love.
Sometimes she smiles to hide her pain
and hope that someday,
all will be right with the world
and love will find her again.

How do I Love Thee
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
I love the way you smile
That twinkle in your eyes,
I love the sound of your heart
Beating gently against mine.
I love the way you love me
And I love you too,
Darling to eternity
It will just be me and you.
Sweet Bitter Love
Dear sweet beautiful woman
I wish I could take you back in time
To where you saw love through rose colored lenses.
Dear beautiful woman
I wish I could take you back in time
To where falling in love was like falling
into a sweet dream you didn’t want to wake up from.
Dear beautiful woman all is not lost,
In time your broken heart will heal,
And perhaps one day You will find love again!

How can I tell if he is Grooming me for Abuse
In many abusive relationships the abuse doesn’t start right away. In fact when he is pursuing you he may be so charming that you feel you have won a prize. It is when he gets comfortable with you and he believes he has you hooked that he begins to show his true colors.
If he begins to have problem with you having a relationship with your former friends and even relatives, he may not have your best interest at heart. Abusers love to have their victims isolated. That way when the abuse begins, you have no one to turn to.
If he hits you and tell you he is sorry and it won’t happen again, don’t believe him. If he could not control his temper in that instance, what is to stop him from losing control again. Each time you forgive him, you give him more power over you and sad reality is that he is grooming you to accept abuse in the relationship.

How do I know he is the one?
Like most things in life, nothing is guaranteed in a relationship. It may turn out the way you expect it to, or it might not. The important thing is to get to know the person you are dating. You may find little clues that will tell you if he is a keeper.
- Is he kind, considerate and cares about your happiness as much as he does about his? If he does, he could be the one.
- If he treats you with respect, makes you feel special, listens when you talk and make you feel what you have to say is important, he could be the one.
- If he makes the effort to spend quality time with you, talks about his dreams and aspirations and a future that includes you, he could be the one
- If he not only tells you, but shows you that he loves you and how much you mean to him, he could be the one.
- If he has all of the above qualities, you probably have a winner on your hand. Hold on to him.
Domestic Violence
Your silence is the greatest weapon your abuser has to use against you. The longer you keep silent and accept abuse the more he will break you down and rob you of your self-esteem. Soon you will believe you can’t do any better, no one else is going to love you and a little love with abuse is better than no love at all. Stop! Do not believe his lies. You deserve better!
Love is not supposed to hurt!
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence continues to be a scourge. Though it affect both women and men, women are three times more likely to die than men. The fight to end violence in relationship is not an easy one as often many people do not seek help until the abuse becomes unbearable and the relationship so toxic that addressing it becomes more complex.
Before it gets to that point one must take action. Learn to recognize the signs that someone may be grooming you for abuse. When someone raises his hand and strikes you, then apologize and you forgive him and stay and the cycle is repeated again and again, that person is grooming you to accept abuse as a part of your relationship. Don’t fool yourself into believing he will change and things will get better. It never does. The moment the abuse begins is the moment you must get out of the relationship.
