These pieces are reflections and expressions of painful moments of denial, bargaining, self-acceptance, self-confrontation, and self-preservation. Domestic violence has increased drastically and will continue to do so if not addressed openly and honestly. The biggest threat is secrecy. The greatest lies are the denial of both participants.

"I won't hit you again."
"I'm so sorry for what I said."
"Why did you make me do this?"
"I just don't understand."

I could go on and on. Heck, I've been there, done that, know that, lived that, survived that. Just consider me the whistle blower, and together we can stop domestic violence.

It starts with us. We know when we're hurting and not being treated right. It doesn't feel right. Please start talking and don't hide. These pieces are simple prayers; positive affirmations of self-worth; and words of encouragement, enlightenment, and hope.

Peace and love . . .
