Heeled Hearts: Stepping Out Of The Hurt - Paperback

As a victim of physical, and mental abuse I wanted to share some of my stories with others who may have experienced, may be going through similar situations, sharing similar traumas, or may know someone who needs encouragement to make it through. Be encouraged, that once you have found your way out of the situation, or relationship, or as you try to find yourself again after your hurt, that you are a survivor. There is life to live still, and loved ones to love, loved ones who love you, and support you.

Growing up in the islands, I was raised with love, and taught to love, our good days surely outweigh our bad days. We lived a good life. We did not see love through abuse, we did not see love through mental hurt. So, this was new to me. To be beaten, called out of your name, and go through so much just to survive was more than I expected. It's never easy, breathe knowing that you are a survivor, you are not alone, you can live and find love again, you can trust again.

HEELED HEARTS, not misspelled, is how I represent myself each day. So, wear your heels every opportunity you get, to remind yourself that you are healed, you have survived, and you are breaking the bondage that has been holding you from being free. May the encouragement of the words, the poetry, and free writing, be a blessing to you as you heal your hurt.
