Declaration of Healing

We share our stories to publicly acknowledge this thing that has happened to us, and to declare that we are not ashamed of it or defined by it.

We are healing.

We are no longer willing to deny ourselves relationship, joy, success and love, as we have done in the past.

We are repairing our self-confidence, our self-trust, our self-love and our self-worth. In doing so, we are learning to trust – ourselves, others, our higher-power (whatever that is for each of us), and Love itself.

We let our voices inspire, heal and uplift one another.

We reclaim our power and purpose by liberating ourselves from secrecy and shame. We speak openly and unapologetically about our lives. We look our abuse in the eye and refuse to run from it, and we are free.

Whatever we are going through, or have gone through, we are not alone. There are others of us who have been through it as well.

Together, we are strong, we are bold, we are empowered. Together, we THRIVE!
