It has been some time since I have written. I am not quite sure why I stopped. Perhaps because I did not feel safe. The last two years have been tough, not only for me, but for our world as we have faced an ongoing pandemic. https://t.co/ct9et9ghcV
Last night I was telling a husband how to perform CPR on his wife for a good 8 minutes. I’m in floods of tears this morning after waking up to an email to tell me... SHE SURVIVED!!! 😭😨😁 @OFFICIALWMAS
Some people need to be told that they are enough, they are worthy, they are loved. Not because no one ever told them before. But because someone told them they weren't.

I live in CA and I have 2 beautiful cats. I have had them since they were kittens but I cannot keep them any longer because I need to move. CAN ANYONE please t

Just got an email from work that our hospital is full and all elective surgical cases have. Even cancelled. No transfers allowed to hospital. Driving home, passed a restaurant that was full. Shaking my head. Frustrated is an understatement.
Dad told me today that I’m 30 years old and therefore should not expect him to still be a parent. I’ve never asked him for anything, just to chat and be there.
Surely I’m not alone in expecting my parents to still be there at end of phone at 30.

I think some people forget who and what I am. Before the PhD and before the book.
I’m just a normal poor kid from nothing who was abused, drugged and beaten for years, baby from rape, then prostitution, then subjected to years of DV, then tried to rebuild my life to help women.
