Modern Day Psalms
My intimate dealings with God and man.
Expressing deep feelings and faith.
Dear Mama
Because of my childhood, I have spent an inordinate amount of time thinking about all the things I would never do as a parent, all the ways I would be better. I had a determination to create the home life for my child that I wished I had growing up. But by the time IContinue reading “Dear Mama”
When Hell Calls
A dive into despair – that’s hell on earth. I can feel the water getting higher around my heart. My soul becomes an echo of pain. There is no escape. The only way through it is to feel it, see it, motivate it to carry on and get away from me. Despair by definition isContinue reading “When Hell Calls”
Do the Violent Win?
I don’t live my life by winning or losing but by justice and grace. In that end, do you think that violent people – you know, the strong ones who overpower the weak, win in the end? Oh, that’s right. This blog is about childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and incest. Not the violent. Wait –Continue reading “Do the Violent Win?”
Dearest Daughters,
Incest is a family affair. Each week on Mondays I’m going to writing to my daughters and share it here with you. On Thursdays, my girls will write back to me. We are The Three B’s. We hope our story brings reality, inspiration and hope to you. Dearest Daughters, Thank you for your sincere wordsContinue reading “Dearest Daughters,”
Jewels, Gems & Gunpowder
I would love to hear from you! Sharing Saturday with you. Jewel: I am loved. Gem: God has not forgotten me or my children. Metaphorical Gunpowder: I am worthy. Leave a one line jewel, a one line gem or something you kept yourself free from with metaphorical gunpowder. I love you! Happy Saturday!
An Evil Persuasion
Abusers don’t come to you as evil, abusers come to you as good. Their persuasion is unmatched. I’ve met few individuals who call their abuser evil. Rather, they are persuaded to see the good in the person that harmed them. I’ve so often heard, “I think he was giving me the love I was lookingContinue reading “An Evil Persuasion”
Dear Mama,
It’s always so interesting to hear our lives from your perspective. How you perceived things in our home and how you perceived yourself. You write that you remember each detail of our bedrooms, everything was accounted for so to speak. But just the other day at dinner you had forgotten that sis and I evenContinue reading “Dear Mama,”
Cotton Candy & Whimsical Things
Don’t forget to have fun along the way! My childhood, bleak as it was, had moments of clarity through fun. My brother and I played in the woods for hours. When the rain came, we’d run outside with our bare feet to dance and be silly. I can still feel the wet clay dirt betweenContinue reading “Cotton Candy & Whimsical Things”
It’s Just So Easy
Millions of us will choose not to tell our story. Deeper still, millions will choose to hide and deny their truth. It’s just so easy to walk away from the past, or, is it? It breaks my heart, actually. It was not easy to tell my story. Can you imagine calling the police about aContinue reading “It’s Just So Easy”
To My Angels

We hope our story brings reality, inspiration and hope to you. To My Angels, You were born two yearsContinue reading “To My Angels”
