So true!! The best part is learning and knowing how to do better. That forgiveness class freaked me out so much, I thought I would quit. I really didn't think we would get to this point, thank you for helping me find my way!!

Powerful. I can relate to the generational abuse, the shame, and the quest to learn and grow while striving to not repeat the dysfunctional patterns. I find the challenges difficult at times and constantly look for ways to give myself credit for the amazing work I have done. I hope you will give yourself the credit you so deserve for all the ways you have continued to grow and prosper.

Thank you for being here and sharing so openly Barbara. The support of loving, intelligent friends and community has helped me hold myself with compassion. I am proud I have come to a place of acknowledgment and responsibility. I wish I had these conversations with the people that raised me. It's truly a gift, I am grateful. I love you!!
