Interests

  • General

    I am a survivor of domestic violence. I escaped with nothing but my four beautiful children. But that was all I really needed anyhow. I have been free of my abuser since 1998. I have realized that the bruises heal, but the scars on my soul will always remain. I am proud of them now. They serve to remind me of how far I have came since leaving my abuser. It has been a long road. I am still troubled by nightmares and flashbacks. I probably always will be. But I have finally healed to a point where I would like to find ways to help others break free from the chains of domestic violence.
  • Music

    Music heals the soul. I truly believe that from the bottom of my heart. There are so many artists that have helped me and my children heal our hearts. Even when I was being abused, he could never take music away from me. It had a magical way of transporting me to another place, another time, away from him. There are a lot of songs out there that deal with abuse and domestic violence. I am so glad that the musicians are using their voices to get the message out that we need to put an end to domestic violence.

About me:

My goal is to bring awareness to the growing problem of domestic violence in our country. I would like to help others break free of domestic violence. I would also like to find a way to start a program that helps victims piece together their lives and learn to heal from their emotional scars. If I help to save even one life then my fight will be worth it. I am lucky to have escaped with my life. I left him because I finally realized that it was just a matter of time before he killed me. The doctor said I was lucky to be alive as it was. I knew that I would be in danger if I tried to leave him. But I also knew that people would be aware of his abusiveness and would save my babies from him. If I was going to die at the hands of this monster at least I would die while saving my precious babies. ..

Who I'd like to meet:

Kenny Chesney - your songs have helped me escape to so many tropical places where life was just perfect. Martina McBride - your music has brought awareness to domestic violence, and so has your charity work. Taylor Swift - You are my 16 year old daughter's hero, and I couldn't be more pleased that she identifies with such a classy young woman who won't let any guy get away with treating her wrong. The cast of Extreme Makeove Home Edition - I would give anything to be able to help you guys build a home for someone to start a new life in. I can't imagine a better job in the whole world. You guys are amazing.

    Welcome my friend, Please excuse us if we
    already sent this to you, we are getting ready for something HUGE! So stay tuned. The more people
    coming together and helping spread awareness is more powerful. I started
    writing Just over FOUR Months ago
    and it is already a huge success! People from all around the world sending
    there success story’s to me how I have inspired them in so many ways! It is so wonderful! I am moving forward
    in telling my story, spreading awareness. Thank you for joining me! You must be
    a wonderful person to care enough to take your time to spread awareness. I look
    forward to knowing you. I have triumphed over Domestic Violence. My horrific
    story is in my blog. Please read and feel
    free to post it on your website
    . To help spread awareness. I am almost
    finished with my book of my life and how I overcame DV thru practicing what I
    know about the law of attraction. My passion is to teach others how they can do
    it as well. I have written most of it in my blog on an almost daily basis for
    the past FOUR months!!! There is a pest that is trying to stop me, and he is a politician Named Bart Mulvihill!
    Check it out!  I suggest starting on the oldest blog so it makes sense and
    you know who the people are. To find the story of how I came to start writing,
    look for “THE BIG BANG, My husband tried to kill us both then when he failed,
    he killed Himself” Or “My Story” It will blow you away! You will find that on
    my main page. There is a lot more to the story than that. I was abused as a
    child then it followed me into my relationships as an adult. I HAVE TRIUMPHED OVER
    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
    . In Love & Light,
