I just read a comment someone posted that said abuse typically occurs to newly married women and that mothers should teach their daughters to not have safe before married and get to know who the person really is. WHAT???
Let me say this- it is NEVER a victim's fault their abuser acted in a certain way. They did not ask to be beaten, strangles, separated from their loved ones, emotionally abused---- NONE OF IT!!! People, stop blaming the victim!!!! This is why people do not ask for help!
If anyone have been abused- mentally, physically, emotionally, financially- and needs a safe space to talk, please feel free to reach out to me. Feel free to DM me.

Happy Tuesday. I was looking at some daily affirmation cards and came across this from Dr. Wayne Dyer :" I treasure all of the experiences I've had in my life". Not all of our experiences are positive but- good or bad- they are vital to us getting to where we need to be. What is an experience- good or bad- that you've gone through that helped you on this journey called life?

I saw this on The Queen Code page last night and thought this is a good motivation for today.

Are you the go to person for everyone? Do people love to pick your brain? Do you have a hard time saying no? Are you taking care of everyone else and at the end of the day, there is no time for you?
Setting boundaries is one of the hardest things to do. Trust me- I have been there and really struggled with this part of self-care but I have done with work and can help you with this as well. Reach to me at 804-322-3942 and let's talk.
