We Are Learning As We Go
Yeah, the good old days for me are what they are. But at this stage in my life, I am happy to leave them in the past. All the good, the bad and the ugly. All the triumphs and mistakes alike.
Mistakes.
I’ve made my share. Haven’t you?
I think it’s understandable because none of us have done this before. It’s all new.
All brand new.
Each day, each step.
And because we are experiencing a lifetime of firsts, we are in a constant state of learning.

Give yourself a break. Relax. Be kind to YOU.
You’re doing your best.
Keep learning.
It’s all useful on your life journey.

When The Wolf Becomes Real…
A Momma’s View shares this heart wrenching reminder of the struggle of recovery after rape in a world that is intertwined by technology.
I saw this. I knew it would be heart wrenching. And it hit me. How hard must it be…
All that time you try to forget. All that time you try to work through it, try to find back to a “normal” life, trying to deal with the nightmares, the memories, the fear, the disgust, the shame, the pictures in your head
