Hello, and Welcome my friend, excuse us if we are sending this in duplicate! There are several of us working on this site and we are getting ready for something HUGE! So stay tuned. Thank you for adding, The more people coming together and helping spread awareness is more powerful. I started writing just over Three months ago and it is already a huge success! I am moving forward in telling my story, spreading awareness, as well as raising money for 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 Three months. 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! 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, Michelle Miller
