I'm no expert. I don't have a degree, just experience. I have a story to tell-about what feels like a lifetime spent being abused, not by one but two different men. Despite broken relationships and all types of abuses and a big confidence problem, I still stand. I want people to hear my story, not because of what I have been through but because of what I have come through. I am not a victim. I am a winner because I stand. After finding myself and staying loyal to me, I realized nobody is going to love me until I love myself first. I looked inside myself and saw just how beautiful and loveable I really am. I've gone from wanting to hide, someone telling me to sit down and shut up, to God telling me to stand up and speak up. And by the grace of God, I can do just that. | New Beginnings by Sara Smith, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
