BOOK DAY 40: Have you experienced betrayal? There are many reasons why an individual might behave in a way that betrays someone close to them. Sometimes these actions are made out of ignorance or apathy, sometimes out of jealousy and spite, perhaps pride; oftentimes these actions might be brought on by stress and desperation. Despite the reasons a betrayal is made, the pain it causes is always deep and the wounds can be long lasting. . As devastating as it can be, being betrayed is a wake up call that reminds us that we live in a world of duality so if truthful, loyal people exist then the opposite also exists. Betrayal teaches us to be more discerning in our relationships and understanding that not everyone has the same values in life. . In the past, my inability to believe that someone would lie or be untruthful has made me a subject of betrayal. We better keep putting all our best toward integrity so that we avoid inflicting this primal wound upon another, while believing in the good of humankind and surround ourselves with those we can trust. . As you look deep into the horizon of what is to come, strengthen your heart and keep it open and pure for those who honor it. More on this in my upcoming book “In a Matter of Seconds”. .

Is there any hope for an adopted person to be free of an excruciatingly painful past? Currently in the world of adoption, Adoptees are clinging tenaciously to The Primal Wound book by an adoptive mom. Of course, we need validation, but friends, there is so.much.more. Junk can be transformed into treasure, depression into hope, and brokenness into breathtaking beauty. Learning about the power of forgiveness is just the beginning, so lets press on...out of the stuckness, out of mediocrity, out of debilitating passivity. Let’s soar like butterflies that have struggled free from their chrysalis. Let’s do it as a team, with hands and hearts meshed, with steel-like determination, and with joy inexpressible. We can do it! Join me on my blog for weekly insights on this new leg of our journeys. I love you, fellow adoptees. #adoption #fostercare #growth #primalwound #expectations #hopefuladoptiveparents #birthparents #socialworker #therapist (at Fishers, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByN3IFLBhrh/?igshid=1le3so859b5fu

primalwound replied to your post: My brother’s new potential girlfriend said she...

ignore her…obviously she’s ignorant…it’s called alto…not all women sing soprano…

Lmao. I get a little competitive with my brother's suitors. Big sister syndrom, or something. ;) Plus I'M a pretty low alto so...I take offense a little bit.

primalwound replied to your chat: Filling out the NCAA bracket with my mama (my dad makes us do it every year)

dude…obama is a huge college basketball fan…he was even at the 1st tournament game—he took the british prime minister with him—and i should put a plug in for my fsu ‘noles…they did win the acc tourney…

Lol I kind of figured he was. It's just really hilarious my mother knows that. Plus I was trying to get her not to cheat so I would beat her...haha.

primalwound replied to your photoset: This makes me so sad. I for real can’t afford any...

500 sucks…but the megaticket for the venue close to me—w/sugarland—it’s $800 for any actual seat…$250 for lawn seats…where you need binoculars to see them…i feel your pain…

Ugh, yes. It's not even an option for me, at this point.

primalwound replied to your post: My brother is playing some game on Xbox and it...

i got the book for xmas…is it any good?

YES. It's pretty addicting. Fast-paced and fun. Different than most things I read, but I decided to hop on the bandwagon and I am definitely glad I did.
