Introduction

I'm a 47year old woman who is an artist and public speaker. My object in sharing my healing journey is to inspire courage and show that true change is feasible. I spent the first 20 years of my life in a horrendous circumstance. I was the victim of sexual and satanic ritual abuse. This blog is the stories of how God took me from the pains of Hell to a far more peaceful place. If focuses on the 27 years that brought recovery and growth after I married and moved away. I am certain it is my purpose in life to share the good that enabled me to survive. I have been blessed with miraculous love from family, therapists and friends. I hope to honor them by giving our amazing story. My best friend who is my husband is helping  write this as it is painful for me. We have 4 adult children who we hope will benefit by understanding our lives better.
                      We are firm believers in forgiveness and grace and do not seek to blame or incriminate anyone. It is impossible to to tell the story without including antagonism. You can't see the light without the shadows. If you are reading this blog because you are healing, please use caution as these stories could trigger you. I know my memories are my unique perspective and I take responsibility for them. I realize that not all others in my family see things the same way I do. I hope to continue to increase my awareness and give people who are honestly seeking a way out of darkness some encouragement.
