Although I have managed to write about other topics that help with positivity, I seem to have been writing a lot more about myself recently and what I'm dealing with.

My long-term intention is to get back into writing on some of the other categories too, just as soon as my life gets back on track. Eighteen months ago after the assault, life took a different turn.

Writing about how I feel and how I cope helps me work through what I have to deal with, so that I can work on bringing positivity and a change in my writing. I hope you'll bear with me.

    1. Thanks Randy. I believe life will get better. We just have to work on the final outcome and hope for a positive result.
