We can "rise above" our circumstances.

Just as Rome was not built in one day; overcoming abuse, healing from its damage, rebuilding our self-esteem and self-concept and trusting our vision for our future is a process. 

Taking the next step on our healing journey is challenging enough. What happens when we find that we have gone from the "frying pan into the fire" and discover that abuse, as we have known it, no longer sufficiently explains what we are facing?

What can we do when the circumstances that we are facing is "fall out" and the beginning of the healing process???

 
PERSPECTIVE:
Do you realize that you ARE WORTH more than the way that you have been treated by others?

FOCUS: 
What are you focusing on in your life??? Are you facing toward the past and remembering the pain and abuse or are you facing toward the future and looking toward healing and wholeness?

 
LISTEN: 
Are you taking time to "listen to what your heart is saying?"...Take the time today to LISTEN to yourself...your heart and mind...





BELIEVE: 
We really are SO MUCH MORE than how we have been treated by others...it is time to learn to RESPECT ourselves and believe that we are WORTHY of a happy and healthy life.

EMPOWER YOURSELF:  
Find yourself, heal from abuse and learn to dream again. Go to counseling. Eat nutritious food and get plenty of rest and hydration. Become more active and TAKE CHARGE of your life!

HEAL and BECOME the person that YOU REALLY ARE!!!

It is time to RISE ABOVE the past and MOVE ON toward our future. You really are worth it!!!!
