Sizzling Tips to Let Your Freedom Shine
Through
On October 14, 2017, I
was emancipated. That was the day myself and 7 other courageously beautiful
women got the chance to breath without restraints. We gained our freedom to
live again. Each of us shared inspirational stories of how a traumatic event
from the past transformed us into stronger human beings today.
Past traumatic events can hold you hostage for a long
time. Don’t let your past hinder your future. There are realistic ways to
overcome the fear of moving forward and live with freedom forever.
Actionable Ways to Rock Your Freedom:
Tip #1: Set Emotional Boundaries
To be happy means being
comfortable with expressing how you feel about past situations whether good or
bad. Don’t try to understand your feelings at first. Be patient. Allow it to
flow through your body unrestrained. Then be kind enough to yourself to release
it by setting healthy outlets.
Tip #2: Love Thy “Self”
The best way to break free
from a traumatic setback is to take care of YOU! The battle is real so you need
to be strong emotionally, mentally and physically. How do you do that? Recognize
and develop ALL of your “self”. Implement a plan to increase your self- love,
self- respect, self- discipline, self- care, and the list goes on & on.
Tip #3: Use Your Heart
It’s obvious that the person
who is inflicting the trauma does not have a heart. Use your heart as a symbol
of motivation and strength. Build up your super power to be a long- standing
survivor. Reach deep into your heart and focus on what or who is dear to your
heart. Use that object of affection as a visual image to overcome any actions,
feelings or thoughts resulting from the trauma.
During my years of trauma, I never forgot that something
better was coming real soon. That was how I survived, and that’s how I grew
strong enough to break free. If you are a victim of physical, emotional,
financial, sexual abuse or maltreatment, don’t sit back and keep the pain
inside…… Set it FREE!

Ode
BEAT
UP
There is just one thing I want to know! Why are you
always beating on me?
The sun rose. You woke up. You still have “Life” in
your body. So why are you putting me down?
You can speak words out of your mouth. You are still
in “your’ right mind. You can look in the mirror and “frown”! Why are you
keeping me down?
But one day I looked in the mirror. I looked at my
kids and cried no more!
The sun rose again. I woke up. Life took over my body.
You will not always beat on me.
I started singing sweet psalms. My mind wasn’t right.
I was down but with some fight.
I smiled. I panicked. I danced. I was frantic.
The sun rose yet again. And you were gone. My “self”
appeared. My strength was strong. “It’s me”, she said. I’m free!
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty! I’m
Free at Last!
But that wasn’t the freedom that I needed at last. I
needed to love all of me. My goods, my bads, my miracles and my faults…
And then…
My phone rang, and it was sad. the sorrow echoed and
it said…
There is just one thing I want to know! Why are you
always beating on me?
FREE AT LAST!
