There was a period in my life that I hated my own sex.
It's mature women like you that are warm, funny, and nurturing that give me faith that not all women are like her. That I can be whom I choose to be and find positive role models, like you, to guide me in being a better person.

You're beautiful post brought me to tears, IvyRose, thankful tears for your kind words!
Yes, it IS very possible to get through trauma and live your best life, as my idol, Oprah says! I know we all have such 'amazing, wonderful, survival skills' built in all of us, and sometimes it takes much digging to get them out! I've dug so deep within myself and I'm finding amazing wonders I didn't even know I had or that even existed, but I SO believe we all have them and can access them at any time when we really want and need to change our lives for the better! I'm writing this in a humble, not egotistical way at all!
I totally believe we are all created as 'Wonders of the World' and it's too bad that so, so many of us don't realize that! When we do, incredible things happen, pain diminishes and love just surrounds and abounds everywhere, it's happened to me, and I write this with tears in my eyes for finally realizing that! Forgiveness is extremely important in the healing process and I kept getting 'bit' until I realized that and dropped all the hurt, pain, and grudges I had. What a wonderful feeling came over me, I feel SO free and light now; I'm just a different person!
