My goal is for this to be a blog about healing the soul, a blog that may talk about abuse as well as surviving, but not to be a victim. If anybody wants to be a guest blogger feel free to let me know.

Floating jar of a disturbing event
In my head there is a mason jar filled with one part of a disturbing
event, floating in a lake. With the help of my EMDR therapist I took this
situation of a comment made about my body image by a man who was suppose to be
a trusting adult, and I traveled through the steps of emotions until it didn’t
feel as shameful today as it has made me feel for the past 18,19, maybe even 20
years. I took the emotions, along with the stupid ass nightgown I was wearing
and I shrank as small as a mouse, like in Alice In Wonderland. I scooped it all
up climbing up the ladder until I reached the top of the jar, I tossed it all
in and it flowed and poured and continued filling the jar like raging river during
a flood season. I grew back to my normal size, placed the lid on the jar until
it was tightly sealed. I tied a rope around it and walked out of my driveway
into the road and down the street. I continued walking until I reached the lake
where I found a tree against the waters edge. I tied off the jar and there it
floats in the lake until I need to address this issue some more. Then I took my
spirit to my sanctuary that I have created. A place with moss, birds, and
butterflies, along with streams, flowers, and waterfalls. I danced, and played,
and washed out all the negativity hanging from a vine leaning my hair into the
water as the elements carried away these feelings.
