Quote that inspires me…

August 6, 2009

To love means loving
the unlovable.

To forgive means
pardoning the
unpardonable.

Faith means believing
the unbelievable.

Hope means hoping
when everything
seems hopeless.

- Gilbert K. Chesterton

About Me

This blog is a part of my lifelong quest for healing. I am 42 years old and have only been “happy” for the past 10. My childhood and young adulthood brought much misery. I only found peace when I learned to love myself, which was soon followed by finding the love of my life. My husband is the first person to KNOW me completely, some things even before I was able to accept or acknowledge myself. I am a master at compartmentalizing. I have locked things away for so long that I am surprised when they surface in my consciousness. This was finally apparent to me when I had a traumatic experience and I went to my therapist and said “I don’ t want to forget this time, I need to remember this, or else …”. I can bury pain within days of an event, DAYS. It’s a numbness that I can’t even penetrate when I want to. I am not a victim. I am the high school drop out that earned a college degree just so I could prove everyone wrong. I am the mother, daughter, and wife that loves unconditionally. I am a survivor, my story is about resilience. It’s about bringing hope to the hopeless.

If you have faith, you are never without hope.
