I am grateful for my AMAZING life, I built after escaping abuse, with my life. Many women do not. I am grateful for my family. I am grateful for my friends. I am grateful for the support and love I have in my life. I am grateful for the caring, the unwavering kind. I am grateful for the laughter. I am grateful for the REAL. I am grateful for my Mom and Dad, the way they raised me, and the strength and conviction I have. I am grateful for the day I am about to enjoy!

* I attended the Macy’s Day Parade in NYC once! Before domestic abuse ripped my family apart. However, my conviction and purpose will never waver.
