  Dear Abba, How do you love while you're hurting? Dream bigger while you're searching? Be still while you're moving? Live together, but separate? Live in the now and accept the not yet? These questions have guided my thoughts as I embark on a poetic journey. My emotions are spilling back onto the page, revealing truths I've kept hidden for too long. The scary part is knowing that my truth might hurt those who are involved. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with these revelations once they hit the page. They say the truth hurts and sets you free, but no one ever speaks about the truth-teller and the price of her delivery! These are my stories, told for His Glory! I feel like I'm coming undone. Standing naked in the sun, light shining on my scars. I was not meant to make it this far. This pain was supposed to kill me, but thanks to my pen, I didn't die. This journey isn't just about me. It's about all of us who struggle with the complexities of life—those of us who are trying to love through pain, dream while searching, and find stillness in the midst of movement. As I continue to write, I'm reminded that truth can be a source of healing, even when painful. In these raw, honest moments, we find our deepest connections to ourselves and others. As I navigate this journey of truth-telling and healing, I realize that each of us has a story that deserves to be heard. Our scars, pain, and resilience are all part of a larger narrative that can inspire and uplift others. -Dee  If you feel moved to share your own journey, I invite you to join me in this space.
Everyone has a story, whether your story is one of struggle, triumph, or anything in between, your voice matters.

Let's continue to find our truth, speak it boldly, and inspire one another on this path to healing and joy.

I am so elated to come to your site and read through it again. Every single time I read anything from you it is truly the most enlightening, encouraging and propelling experience. Go figure, the word experience just poured out freely. You are truly a pillar and have kept me accountable on so many days and I’m grateful to and for you. May our God continue to open doors for you, doors you never even saw yourself walking through. May your name be in the wind and whispered into the ear of influential people! I love you Sistar!! Xoxo

As I read this post, it touched me in so many areas of my being. I feel like we are on a similar journey and it isn’t an easy one. You lose things and people you once loved on this healing journey. I believe it will be for the best in the end. Loving myself is so hard for me, but I’m working diligently on it as I let go of the pain and hurt. I deserve to be heard and loved. Thank you for sharing your emotions and feelings within your words with us!

To be open and free is a gift 🎁 an attribute given. Not every one have that ability. We as human beings have this thing about us. Dont ask so I don't have to tell. Healing is a process but it works better when u could talk to someone u respect and trust .

As I read these words I have realized that yes, we all have truths we want to tell and some we want to remain in the past where they belong. At this 47 about to be 48 in a few more months God Spare I'm looking to the future and you can't do that while still holding on to the past. Yes, somethings happened in OUR past that truly gave us trauma, but God be the glory because we are still here today. We didn't lose the battle, so your words make me see I chose me to live in now. I choose to leave the past in the past. To leave the pain in past, the trauma in the past,the hurt in the past and release it in the past because today is a brand new day to be happy, to live in the moment and to try your best to be your own joy, do things that make YOU happy. Love the people around even when you don't feel the love you desired back from them. Give hugs and kisses and love because there is going to come a time. When we are gone and no one is going to remember your past or your truth they are going to remember you and how you made them feel. So I say Choose you in this moment tomorrow isn't promised.
