Courage Is by The Familiar Strong
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions
Leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway,
You keep on moving anyway
It's not how many times you've been knocked down
It's how many times you get back up
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anyway
Courage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anyway
You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

About me: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. It is still a constant in too many lives. It is still being excused away. It is still being treated with "too" much understanding on behalf of the abuser in the court system. It is still being called "domestic disputes" or "domestic violence" instead of what it is. It is MURDER. It is ASSAULT. It is ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. It is RAPE. It is not going away.
A situation that exists for many may not be going away but the "silence" is. Take a look at Myspace, look at some of the "friends" listed on your "friends" myspace connections. Take time to view those pages with reference to Domestic Violence. There are literally thousands and the number is growing. No longer are we afraid to speak and share our experiences.
Survivors is a place where those who have successfully 'gotten out" can share their story. Take the time to write a comment, post a blog url, or anything else you can think of that will bring hope and courage to those still struggling within a domestic violence situation or the challenges of beginning over. Let us show the world and our abusers that we can, are and will continue to overcome not only the abuse but the ridiculous attitudes of those who judge us by what we could not control.
Join in, and share for the HOPE.
Nobody should be roused to wrath or insult on your account. Everyone should rather be moved to peace, goodwill, and mercy as a result of your self-restraint. ~St. Francis
A good woman is proud of herself. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, or does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs. A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears. A good woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will, at times, have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them. A good woman knows her past, understands her present and moves toward the future. A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played. A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons, meant to bring her closer to self knowledge and unconditional self love. Girl Smile.....YOU KNOW YOU HAVE IT GOING ON! ...So Keep ON Keeping On. I just sent this to a good woman ............... why don't you?"

What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
Rebuild a family. Rebuild someone else's life instead of always being selfish. Do not rebuke other's ideas. Be thoughtful and respectful to everyone's religion. Do not make it dangerous for others to speak their mind.
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you.
Hello, and Welcome my friend, Thank you for adding, the more people come together and help spread awareness is better. 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. I am almost finished with my book of my life and how I overcame DV. I have written most of it in my blog on an almost daily basis for the past Three months. To find the story of how I came to start writing, look for “THE BIG BANG, My husband tried to kill me then when he failed he killed himself” Or “My Story” It will blow you away! If you have a problem finding that part just let me know and I will get it to you. Thanks again for the add.
I have Backers muscular dystrophy do not know how long I have to live I'm trying to get million friends for Disabled Civil Rights cause goal and short video Added me to your top friends please. Goal to have the Supreme Court Olmstead decision 6 to 3 Law enforced and have community-based programs for all who qualify for med waiver and consumer directed care which will save the taxpayers approximately 50% and provide opportunities for jobs instead of having disabled institutionalized or a nursing home. Also the George W. Bush presidential Executive Order 13217.Which means it has been designated a nationwide problem! To be Moses for all disabled people to remove the yoke the burden on our disabled back and set disabled people free.Keep Rock 'n rolling on!
