Life After Advocacy

Today is new and full of promise… we have got to remember that.

For a women’s conference, I recently performed a poem entitled “This Is the Poem” which has been the catalyst to this great shift in my life.  The response to it has fanned a flame inside of me to speak for those who can not, have not or will not. What I have heard from so many women and girls and men is not surprising, because as a survivor I already know how prevalent this problem is in our society. What has surprised me is the healing that has taken place in my own life so that I can stand up to anyone and declare freely, openly, honestly, proudly, defiantly, triumphantly, boldly and confindantly that:

There is life after…

With full faith that God will send me where I need to go, direct me to someone who needs the encouragement I have to give, that I will be a blessing and be blessed, that I will be also encouraged (as I have been already), I am beginning whay I call LIFE AFTER ADVOCACY. The intent is to celebrate and believe in life after… to move forward… to look back only to see how far we have come… and to press forward to that good and perfect plan that God intended for our lives.

A beautiful life awaits…

… be open.
