come into my closet, come under my bed, where you'll find me hiding,
the fear in my head.

abuse in the past, now, where do i start, making my future,
healing my heart.

crushed, and broken, falling fast-
needing comfort, make it last.

from daily WOOL: Words of our Leaders

Topic: Our Best Efforts Bring Peace
"Whenever we live up to the best that is in us, we live up to the principles and the ideals the Savior gave us. To follow him brings peace to the soul."
- O. Leslie Stone, "The Beatitudes,"
Ensign (CR), November 1974, p.31


********************
Never tell people
how to do things.
Tell them what to do,
and they will
surprise you
with their ingenuity. -
General George S. Patton, Jr.
********************


I so needed to hear these words today.

I am working on figuring out
what my personal best is,
and being content there with.

I hope that these words
bring peace to some of you as well!

Thanks for reading and healing with me.

I was delighted you blogged. I appreciate that it may be difficult to open up the closet for us. But each time, whether it is daily, weekly or something in between, that you do it, it is a very good thing. Thanks Mile 191.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I wish you peace

who I was, who I am, who I plan to be...

i am trying to heal from severe childhood sexual, emotional,
physical, and mental abuse; and abandonment.


this is my story.

i have good and bad days, and some days the odds seem insurmountable.
i cling to the hope that healing will come to mend the shatter pieces of my heart, mind and body.


mile 191, well, you will understand as you read along.
mile 191, portions of my past have a link on the top right.
mile 191, bottoms up. hears to you and to me.


please, if you know me, just let me know you found me. i need honesty. (and please do not use personal names)
if you want to follow my story, please try to heal with me.
if you want to share with me, please do.
i will post bits of my pain as i can, and leave it here.
i once thought that i would publish...i haven't had the courage.


this is my closet, you are welcome to come in.
just know this is my refuge, healing takes place here,
maybe it will be a refuge to you too.

Helen Keller

Success is not to be measured by the position someone has reached in life, but the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T. Washington

When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard, ' I am always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?'

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
