"Dear Me" . . . a Time of Healing and Discovery

A few weeks ago I posted about how I finally took a stand against a family member who had verbally and emotionally abused me since I was a young child. That single act of bravery has caused some major changes in my life, one of which is getting in touch with my inner child.

And discovering she's broken.

Learning to recognize her and allowing her to heal is the the main focus of this post and the new look of my blog. To be honest, I've gotten to where I hate blogging. I struggle constantly with what I feel is important enough to share with my readers. I always come up empty or feeling like what I've shared is unimportant or the same thing everyone else is blogging about.

Blah . . . blah . . . blah!

Well, not anymore! 

Today I offer up my heart and soul to anyone who will listen. As I discover my inner child--the side of her that is wounded and the side that is playful and care free--I will record my inner most feelings and experiences for everyone to read in the form of a journal entry.

"Dear Me" will be honest, raw and hopefully uplifting. Please feel free to share your own experiences along the way and maybe some day our inner children will be able to play together.

*Hugs*
