Dear Wonderful Woman

Dear wonderful woman:
You,
Yes, you.

I am here to offer a word of understanding.
To the woman who has been belittled,
Critisized,
Betrayed.

To you
Dear beautiful woman,

From one who has crawled through the bitterness of betrayal and abuse,
From one who knows what it feels to lose all sense of self...
And rise above
To become
The beautiful wonderful woman I have always been,

I share hope.

I once thought that the tears I shed over my abusive marraige would break me, but instead they are growing my beautiful garden.  Your tears can grow you a garden too, and the joy we will feel at the view of each glorious blossom will surpass the grief of all our tears.

Come, stop by every now and then and read the deepest feelings of my heart.

You are loved.
