Feet... Glorious Feet!


Why did I post a picture of my feet? These feet have brought me through a lot of shit. I realize that battles are won every day as nation is pined up against nation, tribe against tribe. I have fought countless fights as a survivor of childhood assaults. I’ve been wounded by long drawn out battles against starvation, rape, rejection, mental and emotional cruelty. Thus far, I have beaten the medical consequences of such criminal acts, putting the side effects of my past in remission.

Today I thrive as one who lives by the rod of “emotional reconstructive therapy”, Unconditional Love of Self. I am living proof that positive statistic are harvested out of crimes against children.

In a huge way, I am new to this world, this thing called life. I am happy to be free but my recovery is long term and yet has proven effective by the day. I am still standing and with this book I have written, the nakedness of my soul, I will run. These feet have brought me here. When I look down at them, I love and appreciate them. I thank God, but I appreciate these feet for bringing me through to this point. Now, I pamper them and I admire them for where they have been.

Life has schooled me, beaten me up but I can not be beaten down. I will struggle for a good part of my future reconditioning from the affects of victimism. I’ve a learning curve hard to match and with it I am soaking up this new world like a sponge. With me, expect the new, unique and unexpected. If there is a void, I will find it.

My story lends a unique perspective on victim recovery and offers a fresh look at the process. Today I have no reason to die and every reason to live. I hope I can be a living testament and an encouragement to all who read and hear my journey experience.

Rachel,

I so admire what you are doing. I have had some health problems this last month so I am sorry I have been out of touch ... but you have been in my thoughts and prayers as you've been writing ... I look forward to reading the rest of your book.

Love you-
