Reality Check

Uncategorized

Mommy, am I beautiful? She asked me after looking in the mirror with her 2 year old hands on her hips.That always snaps me right back into reality when I start to become critical of myself.

So it begins

Uncategorized

Today I am choosing to lean into something that is difficult for me...that is to write this blog and be willing to share it. You see, for a long time now I have wanted to do this and have chosen not to because of fear and time and my own inner critic. But recently I have begun to realize the ...

Like many of you who’ve generously shared your sto Like many of you who’ve generously shared your story with me through the years, I’ve walked this brutal path of living through a life-altering smear campaign, too.

So if it feels like a resource, this is for you:❤️‍🩹
A Lament for a Smear Campaign 
.
(And other types of narcissistic abuse)
.
For the ways we have been slandered for telling the truth, 
.
We grieve. 
.
For the ways that reality has been contorted so we can no longer recognize it, 
.
We cry out. 
.
For the ways relationships were weaponized as part of the harm, 
.
We lament. 
.
For the ways those causing harm are celebrated, 
.
We dissent. 
.
For the bodies that were made to carry shame they do not own, 
.
We honor. 
.
For the ways you meet us in the valley of the shadow, O God—
.
We remember. 
.
Selah.
