I just finished reading a book.
Finding Angela Shelton
It's the true story of one woman's triumph over sexual abuse.
I am a survivor of sexual abuse.
I'm saying it now, I'm saying it out loud!
I was sexually abused as a child.
More than once, and by more than one person.
To keep silent is to let those whom abused me keep a sort of control on my life. My sub-conscious.
I encourage you, if you have been, to say it out loud. The only way we can beat this epidemic in our society is speak of it, make others aware, and fight against it.
I thought I was over it! I thought I had worked through my issues.
After reading this book I see the journey has really just begun.
Yet it is a journey that I welcome whole-heartedly.
I have the strength. I have the courage. I love this life too violently to let these circumstances of my youth continue to haunt and dim the the spirit in me.
More to come as my courage grows.
In His Light,
Blake
