About Me

After being engulfed for 11 years in a relationship with a narcissist, it’s really hard to sit down and describe who I am. Part of my awakening has been to step out of the fog of confusion to regain my identity. To survive the experience, I needed to learn from my past mistakes and use them to create a better version of myself. It would be easy to remain lost in a made up world where I exist only for the elevation of someone else….. but that is not what God has planned for me. He wants me to share every bad decision, every desperate moment, to show that He never gives up on us. No matter how low we get in our despair and helplessness, there is a way out.

With all that said, I guess it’s time to be brave and give you a little bit of my history. I was born in 1974 in a small town in the rural mid-west as the fifth child of two hard working Christian parents. They did their best with us, and even though we lived simply, we had love and laughter in our home. There was never a doubt in my mind that God was the reason for it all. Like many others, though, I let this world take over my focus and attention, and pull me away from Him. I was blessed with beauty and intelligence, but a modesty that kept me from fully exploiting these gifts for selfish gain. However, my naive and empathetic nature did not protect me from predators who saw my gifts as a way to elevate their own agendas. The romance would begin with happiness and bliss, but would eventually end with me realizing that something just wasn’t right and it was time to move on. My story starts eleven years ago, when I crossed paths with the most clever chameleon who convinced me that he was my soulmate. The rest of the story holds the greatest heartache and the greatest joy I will likely ever experience in my life.
