I hereby forgive me* I glued it down on that page, I left it with closed eyes, to
remain as a peaceful wisper. But right now my heart needs open eyes …

Hug
I used the mug you gave me yesterday!
Well Done
I am glad you are remaining sober. Stay with it and keep your head clear!
I’m With You
i am so proud of you, have prayed for this to happen. i am so thankful and grateful for what u have done. this closes a large chapter for me.
Hug
I am in awe of your accomplishments. Apparently the word is spreading. I heard from two others yesterday who also share our view.
I had given up on this whole thing. My therapist kept telling me it wasn't worth the stress it was putting on me, and that it wasn't my responsiblity to save the world.
But you did it! At least a few may be safer now....
congrats.
Moment of Peace
You know what? I have come to a conclusion. I have spent a lifetime thinking I knew who God was, and He made me fearful of all the wrongs in my life. But, a dear friend spent late hours in conversation with me, and I learned about a God of love who has no desire that I suffer, or live in shame. He is a God of Love - yes. But, just because we are loved, it is not free license to act any way we choose....yes, I said CHOOSE, we have a responsibiltiy, to our God, and to our fellow man. I know it is hard not to get blinded at times, and to make poor choices because of things that seem out of our control....but control is just a thing that we either have taken for a time, or....simply relinquish. I don't know who is directing your steps, and it doesn't matter, because the choice was always your's. Only you could undertake such a travesty, and only you could stop it....by simply telling the truth. I hurt for a friend. I hurt for injustices done in the name of....in the name of what?! Exactly what is it you think you honor with your actions? The "peace" I send to you is honest. You see, I know, at some point you will look back and see what it is you have involved yourself in, and you will see all who are affected by your prideful actions,the adults...and the innocent children...and the many trauma victims who have yet to know their trauma... and peace will be hard to come by. So, peace is my wish for you...because selfishly, I know that true peace will not be possible for you unless the outcome for my friend is justice. So, in that regard, I hope your life is soon filled with joyous peace, because that will mean my friend has received a blessing. And you know what? No matter the 'decision', that blessing may not be packaged like I envision it, but that blessing will come - my friend's blessing will most certainly come! Your tattoo....that mark on your arm that speaks of 'beloved', and of 'rest'....and the one word you have no right to....look at it every day, and know.

Close Rape
I was a date rape victim. I am now a date rape SURVIVOR! I will do whatever I possible can to help other girls with this rape trauma, and I want to find a way to publicize this silent crime so that Americans can no longer turn their heads. Shame and Guilt are the last thing survivors should feel, and its going to take a lot to change the stigme in our culture... but we CAN do it. I love all the precious and beautiful survivors all around me.
