The words so many got hear from my father, that sadly I never did.
"In my opinion, no one in the medical profession has reached infinity of thought. No one can claim authority over another's right to heal. By using herbs to heal, the very plants we walk alongside on the earth, we not only create empowerment within ourselves, but also identify and connect with dis-ease, allow it a swiffer passage for greater healing to be made".

Many believe that this place is a vast form of knowledge that allows for new discoveries, but in reality, it is those who whisper in the ears of the community are the pilgrims of history.
Now, that was a first; someone, a total stranger, listened to my advice. This girl agreed to walk back to retrieve her forgotten items and I saw her walk with a sense of purpose, hesitating but still with a thought in mind. She admitted her fear of him she said through his being embarrassed by her but I saw the physically fear that rattled her. When we walked past the patio door and approached the front door we turned away so she could do this alone. We kept our distance in order to give privacy but yet be within earshot in case something happens.
Have you ever felt you knew the true side to a person? To the point you fully believe who they are being to you is who they really are, somewhat good and pure maybe just a little lost. Especially, when life seems to be crumbling around you and that confidant is a positive element then suddenly that person blindsides you with their actual self, evil and a liar.
By “speaking their mind” these women don’t realize that the power they have by being ‘famous’ sets the foundation for those to come.

For those of you who have seen at least one episode of the “The Handmaid’s Tale” can attest the extreme attitudes and psychological warfare that is the basis for the show. For those of you who haven’t jumped on the bandwagon be aware SPOILERS AHEAD. I was like you once, I am an active member in the community against jumping on bandwagons and usually wait to watch a show after everything is already ruined by social media where we are basically given a play by play.

Don’t we all wish that every person who ever wronged us would confess their guilt, whether it be in comfort of a simple vent session between friends or the awkward stares in a courtroom where they are sworn to the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help them God. Wouldn’t it be nice to have all the traumatic events that haunt our dreams have some closure? Well, that dream is a distant one in the case of most sexual assault victims. Most of the people in this world that have suffered through the coping process of rebuilding their lives after such an event, still live with the ache and pain every single day. An ache that shakes a person to the core and causes issues later in life.
