Story: I Almost Lost My Soul

_5D_9944

I grew up in a very dysfunctional family. My mom was hooked on prescription drugs and was abusive to me & my sister. I was too afraid to run away so I started using drugs at the age of 12/13 years old. By the time I was 18 years old I was hooked on heroin, and cocaine, and I was using it intravenously.

I turned my 1st trick to get the money for my drugs. It was disgusting! He was old, really old, and he smelled!

I got sick with serum hepatitis and my father took me back home, where I did not want to be.

As soon as I felt better, I started calling military recruiters — I was ready to do anything to get out of that house.

I stopped using drugs. I drank a lot…

I served 2 years, got married and got out. My marriage failed, and my husband left with my son.

Then I lost my job… then I lost my home. I was homeless for 3 ½ years — I had lost everything.

Prostitution, I thought, was the only option. I went to jail 15 times, was raped 12 time and almost lost my soul.

God allows U-turns and now I have been clean & sober for 25 years – I am blessed.

    Women are like trees. When planted with love, confidence, dignity and respect their roots grow deep. They will be unshakable and brighten our future.

    When left alone and undisturbed, the winds of self-expression and personal power will spring forth a forest full of women’s nature. These beautiful trees will mobilize and influence a new social impact throughout the planet.

    With support and nourishment, these trees will live for generations to come. Their strength, power, beauty and light, will beam across our planet. When the light of sunrise peak through the forest, we know as empowered women, the TIME TO BREAK THE SILENCE has come.
