I showed up, I spoke the truth, and I left it there.

No overthinking, no rehearsing — because the truth doesn’t change.

Now I’m choosing peace.

Everything else is in God’s hands.

Praying that everyone involved is protected, healed, and guided the right way. 🤍 #DVcase #Court #DomesticViolence

... Read moreSharing a personal experience like this takes immense courage, especially when dealing with sensitive topics such as domestic violence and court proceedings. Speaking the truth without overthinking reflects a powerful inner strength and commitment to honesty, which can be both emotionally exhausting and liberating. It’s understandable that reliving traumatic experiences and answering challenging questions during a court case can be frustrating. Often, individuals must face what feels like nitpicking and feel the weight of proving their stories repeatedly. This process, while necessary for legal validation, can strain emotional well-being. An important aspect of healing through such situations is embracing peace and trusting a higher power or the natural course of justice. This act of letting go, however difficult, can provide a sense of relief once you’ve done your part by telling your story truthfully. Protection and healing for everyone involved, including the survivor, family members, and even those accused, are crucial. Many people affected by domestic violence need more than just legal intervention—they require support such as anger management, substance abuse rehabilitation, and emotional counseling to truly recover and prevent recurrences. From my perspective, helping people seek the right assistance rather than solely focusing on punishment creates a path for rehabilitation and societal safety. Denial and resistance to seeking help are common but addressing these issues compassionately contributes to long-term stability. In conclusion, sharing your truth publicly not only helps your own healing journey but can raise awareness and encourage others in similar situations to find the courage to come forward and seek peace and justice.

You stopped chasing. They vanished. Not because you changed, but because you finally paused. And in the stillness, the truth spoke loud: you were the glue. The planner. The one who always showed up. Their silence wasn’t rejection. It was revelation. You didn’t lose them, you

Today didn’t go as planned… but I showed up anyway
Today didn’t go the way I planned. Things came up. Time got away from me. And I almost didn’t show up at all. But I did. Because progress doesn’t come from perfect days… it comes from continuing even when things feel messy. You don’t need perfect days to move forward. #womenove

Jesus showed up in a vision after I asked ….
I grew up in church, but I didn’t have a real relationship with Christ. So after high school, when I was introduced to spiritualism, I got pulled in. It sounded powerful, beautiful even. I believed in a “higher power,” prayed to ancestors, and rejected organized religion especially Christianity.
