This Week’s Sponsors
Several weeks ago I received an email from Anne Lauren.
In her message she thanked me for the work I was doing to help individuals who’ve been impacted by trauma, and she also explained that she’d been so inspired by the #metoo movement that she wanted to share her story, as well.
Anne is a word weaver, a woman warrior, and a wisdom wayfinder. She authors the blog, Blue&Lavender, in which speaks of her experience recovering from sexual abuse and seeks to educate and inspire others to do the same.
She can also be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Medium @BlueandLavender.
The Quote
I hope that you come to find that which gives life a deep meaning for you. Something worth living for – maybe event worth dying for, something that energizes you, enthuses you, enables you to keep moving ahead. I can’t tell you what it might be – that’s for you to find, to choose, to love. I can just encourage you to start looking and support you in the search.”

I’m so glad Anne said how she felt when a therapist suggested to her that she should work with children in the future. I can easily see myself making that kind of mistake, but I hope I don’t.
