A little bit of history today: Labor Day, first celebrated in 1882 in New York City, honors American workers and their contributions. Originating from labor union efforts advocating for fair wages, safer conditions, and reasonable hours, it became a federal holiday in 1894. Observed on the first Monday in September, it symbolizes workers’ rights and achievements. And for women, we are carrying on the fight. ~ julie

Four years ago today, I became a grandmother for the first time. Since that time, I have become a grandmother two more times. The miracle of life; the joy of little ones; the simple moments that they bring to fall in love again and enter a new chapter in my life. These three little men are filling my life with smiles, reminding me of fond memories of raising my daughters, and further defining my purpose.

So, to my first grandchild, I wish you a very happy birthday today. I fell in love from the moment I held you.

To love or not to love. Where do we draw the line when we have been so abused and traumatized by those who were to love us?

The adult me knows when I am unsafe; when the person that is in the same space as me is not to be trusted. Yet, so many have deceived me. Is that because I jumped in with two feet without thinking? I think so. Now I must move more slowly. Trust takes time. I need to be patient. I can learn to trust again. ~ julie

I often tell myself and others I have forgiven my abusers. Yet, I still want to fix them. I have to let it go!! I am keeping myself prisoner because I keep holding onto the hope that they can be fixed. So have I truly forgiven them? Or is it that I have not forgiven myself in my inability to make things right?

Hmmmm....thoughts? ~ julie

I do not know if you feel your age. I have heard people make comments that "'so and so' does not act their age;" "they do not look their age;" "you would never guess how old they are."

I do not feel like I am 64. I feel full; full of new opportunities; full of dreams; full of new tomorrows. My brain is sharp. I like to be active. I am embracing each day - well, I guess I have to admit some of those days are hard days; I struggle. I am leaning into that struggle and being kind to myself on those days. Yet, the rest of my time is embracing the joy that I am beginning to feel; the excitement of what could be.

Will you join me on this new journey? ~ julie

I recognize I have layers of trauma and abuse. Because of them I have Complex PTSD. Those layers are like the multiple layers of paint one would find on an old home. Each layer has its own color. That color reflected a certain person, a place in time, or the the purpose of a room. My layers are the same. Each layer tells a story and those stories bring me to where I am today. A person with many stories that have lead her to her purpose; to tell the story.

Will you join me on this journey? ~ julie

I need to fly. I have so much more I want to do in this life. Yes, I have experienced heartbreak and broken dreams...again and again. But I know those things were needed. Without them I cannot do the work I feel so called to do.

My broken heart has been turned into a heart for healing. And, my personal adversity has been turned into purpose.

What about you? How are you turning your aches and losses into a better future? ~ julie

I read these words and I know them to be true. My soul, though, still wants to fix them; to make them better people; to understand what they did was so hurtful. I have to let this go though. I have to look forward.

Typing these words is another way I am carrying on the montra in my head to "let it go," "it's time to move on," "you cannot fix them."

So, today, I ask you to join me. Let go of what you are holding onto...holding onto it is only continuing to hurt you.

So, let it go ~ julie

A couple of weeks ago I was in Montana close to where I used to live. I go up 3 to 4 times a year to work with my amazing therapist, Kim. I am at a point in my healing and because of my ability to do hard work on my own, I see Kim for one or two week intensive therapy using DBT and EMDR. I then come home and put into practice what I discovered about myself during that time. I also have enough tools in my toolbox now that I can continue the work until I get stuck again. Then, I head back up to see her. She is really amazing.

So, today I dedicate this post to her. I was so blessed to have found her in such a rural area; certified, licensed, liberal-minded, and a feminist helping woman find their voice. I am incredibly grateful to her; grateful for pushing me, questioning my thoughts, and helping me to find my way out of an abusive relationship. You are the best.

Fondly ~ julie

This week I have been talking about feeling good about myself; making myself a priority; embracing compliments; being courageous.

During my two recent weeks in Montana seeing my five-star therapist, we worked on me realizing that the only thing standing between me and healing is "me." I have begun to feel a happy heart. When I reflect on myself, I am proud of myself for surviving all that I have overcome. I am proud of raising two amazing daughters. I am proud of the lives I have touched. I am proud of my accomplishments and unique gifts.

So, why when my heart wants to smile, I feel like crying?

Argh ~ julie

I am chosing me. Granted, there is still hesitance and there is still guilt. But, until I can get this down I just need to fake it 'til I make it; act as if.

I am determined to convence myself that I have made the right choice. ~ julie

I do not know if I have ever been thrilled with validation. I push validation away; discount it; am fearful of it.

As for criticisim, well...that I am used to hearing. I bottle it. It reinforces how I think I am to be treated.

Do you relate to the quote or are you more like me? ~ julie
