An important read Wendy. Encountering the hard things that others have been through and holding a space for them appears to be a real challenge for some people. Thank you for casting a light on this 💪

Thank you, Esther! Yes, it is sad on so many levels, isn’t it? No wonder so many keep silent for so long; others’ common responses are really more to blame for the silence than the forced-upon carrying of shame. May we all hold a torch to bring light to that darkness! 🔥💪🏼👊🏼🔥 Appreciate you for coming by to read and, most gratefully, leave comment.

Many blessings and MUCH LOVE,

~Wendy💜

It is good to get things out, much love to you always. Too many #MeToo is say the very least. (((Hugs))) to your younger self. You ROCk for speaking the hard truths

Appreciate you, Marjorie! Younger self feels those hugs! 🤗💞✨ I have been, but much more so with age, standing strong in speaking to TRUTH and killing the hideous monster that secrets are! All of us deserve it! If what I share opens one person’s eyes, or has another feel supported, it is well worth removing the ‘hush’!

Blessings and MUCH LOVE, my friend,
