Today I have danced, and I have cried with the equal intensity. I have come so far in my journey to trust that I am of value and that people really do like me. That I am a glorious work of art. The following video may help those of you who find it difficult to comprehend how I have struggled to embrace this within myself. I made a choice to run away from home at an early age because anything had to be better than what I was living. The words this young child speaks, sends me reeling back in time reminding me of who I thought I was and how I felt about myself and the world around me. People ask me why I do what I do.......Its because the children need our help. We cannot blame the child and allow them to believe they have no value. Tears continue to flow, my heart absolutely achs with the remembering. To know that children continue to live in fear because we dont have enough foster homes, and that the parents live in their own hell. It is a hard job I know because I was in foster care and was a foster parent for 20+ teanagers and 1 baby. Then fostered well over 40 dogs! I am a stronger, wiser woman because I stepped up to the plate and extended a hand and an open heart to another who needed to me to be the rock. I have bared a part of my life that few knew about. I hope that when an opportunity presents itself to you to help in anyway to a cause that the goal is to change a life, you do give what you can, where you can, knowing that it takes all of us to do our part.
