The Silence Beyond the Swing

The Silence Beyond the Swing is an intimate journey through the pain, trauma and self-renewal from sexual and mental abuse. This story highlights the darkness in the process of allowing oneself to forgive and break destructive life patterns. This is a raw and real read. Yet when we live through such horrible experiences, we choose to stay wounded or we get well. The understanding of forgiveness is not about the other person, rather it is the permission and gift we give to ourselves.

The 'swing' reflects my safety, my sense to feel free and the one place my inner child could heal. Throughout this personal story, one can find silver linings, possibilities to see things differently, and challenges the soul to seek truth, resilience and limitless love.
