loveliest L,
i read your words about being teased and warfare and all the rest and cried and got chills, because i can really relate to your poignant, strong and incredibly important memories and the healing you are engaged in.
and because an alchemy is created when one story is told and received, it caused in me, the telling of this;
1972. i left minnesota for florida, where i started college at the u of tampa, at age 17. i remember getting really thin in the months before leaving. i think i was so afraid of being away from home i was trying to disappear. i wore a leather hat and knife on my belt. i told anyone who asked that i was a knife thrower. each day i'd go out and "practice" throwing the knife.
this was my costume, my mask of defense. it was the 17 year old version of how i couldn't defend myself at age 7 from my molesting older brother who was my babysitter and would lock me in the closet and then point his beebe gun at me and tell me he'd kill me if i told.
and so i didn't tell until i became 35 and tried to commit suicide to escape those memories of defenslessness.
then i healed, got help, got well and found my power in myself and my creative life, and began to write books where i told the whole world what had happened to me.
then i transformed and forgave, and moved beyond memories and stories
and claimed P E A C E

dearest peace loving, and peace creating wonder,

I thank you for sharing your story here.

What an amazing, incredible story.

I honour you for your honesty, warmth, clarity and growth. I honour you for the soul you are now, in all your creative, fulfilled self; and your soul that you were ~ your leather hatted, knife throwing, dealing, healing self.

The choices we make on how to react, feel and heal over situations shape our lives irrevocably.

I'm just blown away by your post, dearest s.

Am touched, so very touched, that we have connected. heart to heart.

Charlie is v pleased too. He's currently sprawled out on our red couch between me and Chris, looking VERY comfortable. It's a dog's life ;)

Many many blessings on you,
Love,
Leonie
