The goddess wall- this wall is one of my favorite features in my house. The golden mirror is surrounded by famous women of myths and history, goddesses and legends. When you stand in the mirror, you are one of them. Whenever I feel weak, afraid, or damaged, I stand in the circle and remember who I come from. When my daughter struggles, I stand her in front of the mirror too, and I remind her- all these beautiful and fierce women are looking to you- because you’re one of them.

Something a little different to help those that need it.

No..

Since we were little kids we’ve always heard the word no.

No don’t touch that

No don’t eat that

No you can’t say that

No you have to be nice

All of us have been taught what the word means.

Yet to some the word means nothing at all...

I do not understand what is so difficult to understand

Why is it worth hurting someone

Mentally

&

Physically

Just for a few minutes of fun

Your few minutes of fun ruined my entire life.

You seemed kind and sweet

I made it clear from the start that I wanted to move slow

I guess slow to you is hitting a homerun the first inning of the game.

I hope your homerun was worth it.

I wonder why you didn’t respect me

Did I do something wrong

Oh yeah,

It’s my fault

Maybe my camo pajama pants and hoodie were just too revealing for you

Maybe it was something I said

But I only remember saying no

Begging you to stop

You didn’t listen

You turned into a wild animal

Bruised me

Broke me

When you were done you laid there like nothing happened

I just laid there frozen

I couldn’t believe it

After what felt like hours you got up, got dressed and left

But I just laid there

I thought you were different

But boy did I think wrong

I wonder what happened to that child who listened when someone said no

I saw my abusive ex yesterday for the first time in nearly 8 years. For 8 years, I have panicked about going to places where he may be, not knowing how I would react. I panicked initially and had to leave the store in order to calm down, but I am super proud of myself for getting through it. Seeing him made me realize that I am NOT a victim; I am a survivor. Despite everything that happened with him 8 years ago, I made it through to where I am today. Although most of the credit for that goes to utilizing my support system and going to therapy to finally open up about exactly what I went through, I also have to give myself some credit. I realized yesterday that he no longer has any power over me and I am now in charge of myself and my own emotions.

Recently, the CEO of “The Right Side of 50”, an Atlanta based women’s advocacy and support group, came out to train with us. It’s always amazing to less experienced shooters gain skill and proficiency with their self defense tool. It’s even more amazing to see the lights turn on and their perceptions change for the positive as their sense of empowerment kicks in and they realize that they CAN adequately protect themselves as they are their first line of defense against ANYONE willing to do them harm. Here are a few of her words on her training. Look out for her upcoming hosted class by @rightsideof50 for the women in the metro Atlanta area on January 27th. DM for details. Discounts available. #rightsideoffifty #rs50 #rightsideof50 #atlanta #women #ladies #empowerment #advocate #notavictim #protection #selfdefense #homedefense #firearms #girlsthatshoot #womenwhoshoot #girlswhoshoot #pistol #handgun #2ndamendment #righttobeararms #shallnotbeinfringed #cometrainwithus #superiorsecurityconcepts (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrA_sP-nbJE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y21h95134wg5
