I Tell My Story So You Can Tell Yours | Breaking the Chains of Shame and Guilt
We all carry stories — some heavy with shame, some hidden behind guilt. I open up about my journey, not for sympathy, but to create space for you to share yours. There is power in vulnerability, freedom in truth, and healing in being heard. By telling my story, I hope to give you the courage to tell yours — without shame, without guilt, and without fear. You are not alone.

August 10, 2025 - Change for Them
I was willing to modify myself...compromise myself....not be myself. I believed that if someone fought for me that meant that I was worthy. But, there was no fight. I saw them walk away. I wanted the best for them. What I didn't want was them to be with me based on what I gave or what was assumed I could give. And, although I continuously poured my energy into them and help them see worth, I was left standing alone.
I was willing to fight to be with you...to love me with an unconditional love...not look at me or look at my past and believe that I was unworthy. I believed that everything good would return to me ten fold, but there I was standing in the rain even as the sun shined. So, I taught myself to be independent and not ask for help unless I was absolutely desperate. In reflection, I was a child caring and being responsible for others, serving in capacity depleted, pouring into others not feeling poured into.
That was the space I was waiting for someone to fill, but I stopped waiting. I became numb, mean, cold and unapproachable. Honestly, I was protecting myself. That isn't me. I had to learn to put me first and love me before I could love others. Rest when I needed to rest. Say no when I could not or simply did not want to show up, be there, pour into, serve or even care. And I did and do. I finally realized I don’t need anyone to tell me that I am worthy. I don’t need anybody to show me that I’m valuable. I need to believe it myself.
Because if no one else fights for me, I will fight for myself.
How will you fight for you?

The first blog is up! I will post these on Tuesday evenings at least once or twice a month. Don't forget to share your thoughts as my words are ..... in the moment (good, bad, ugly, and exceptional). By the way, the date on the blog is the day I wrote the message. I hope you enjoy and remember that you are not alone. Don't give up. It is okay to rest. But don't quit.

Would you be interested in a blog accessible here via a link? Sometimes I don't want to be on camera and I still have something to say. LOL!

I want to create my own website to host my videos so I can talk more candidly without worrying about YT violations as well as house my writing - books and blog all in one place. There would be a membership for the more candid videos. How much would you be willing to pay for the more private videos? Let me know if hosting the membership on YouTube is a preference.

Don't let circumstances that you can't. It is a distraction or a derailment. Sometimes you have to pivot. If it was given to you ...an idea, an invention, a craft, a book ... do it. Why? Because you can. Everything you need starts from within. Oh, and, you can!
