Hold on for one more day

Today I was listening to some of the songs that I have posted here that inspire me and remind me to be a strong woman, click here to view more

I really wanted to share Wilson Phillips – Hold On: This song has inspired me for as long as I can remember, I would listen to if often while living in abuse, it was sometimes the only encouragement that kept me going.

Now, years later it helps me see how far I have come and what I have control over. I can remember when I would listen to this song over and over for an hour or more to get me through the days. I encourage you to find songs that do that for you.

What song inspires you and helps you stay strong and see how far you have come?

Love & Peace,
Rebecca

Self-Esteem – I Improved My Self-Esteem by looking in the mirror

One of my all-time favorite books is called Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. If you never read another book of self-discovery, read this one. A dear friend gave me this book a few years after I was out of the abuse. It is set up to read a quote and then one page for the day, something to inspire you and make you think. I read that book front to back for over five years. To read more click here

Riddled with bullets, tear gas and death, for the safety of everyone involved, the house was destroyed. To read more click here
