I have chosen to love, believe and respect who I am, in light of what God has said about me.
To allow myself to call abuse and abusers what they are in relationship to my experience of them. To refuse to subject myself to what I would tell others to walk away from for their own health. To respect the dignity of my own soul, heart, mind and life and choose to reject a view of myself or my actions that denigrates the truth of my actions, motives or desire.
I choose to own my safety and freedom to build spiritual and relational boundaries that honor the gift of my heart and time.
