Saturday, November 23, 2013. A Look at the Victims of Domestic Violence. I am your mother, your daughter, your sister, your co-worker, your neighbor and your friend.

Elf Lady's Chronicles: June 2012

Sunday, June 17, 2012. Living a Life in Limbo. You can get so confused. That you'll start in to race. Down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace. And grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,. Headed, I fear, toward a most useless place. For people just waiting. One afternoon a couple years ago, my son, who was five, was watching a DVD about the Spanish Amada or maybe Sir Francis Drake. My mom amazed at his knowledge said “One day, E is going to be teacher.”. I was asked to fill out the New Pat...

Sunday, December 9, 2012. Get Mad Then Get Over It. 8220;I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes,. I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”. I have a confession. I have to come clean. I can’t keep it a secret any longer. So here it is. Sometimes I don’t feel so very grateful and forgiving. Sometimes I am just really pissed off. And I don’t want to be grateful or forgiving. While IR...

Sunday, May 27, 2012. Why I Will Not Remain Silent. 8220;Never, never be afraid to do what's right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society's punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way.”. 8213; Martin Luther King Jr. Today a friend remarked that he didn't understand how I could continue writing about my story without going crazy. How could I keep reliving my abuse? So I question, "Why AM I still writing? Sometimes I'm tir...

Wednesday, February 13, 2013. This Valentine's Day.Love Yourself Enough. 8220;Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external things or on other people. You become vulnerable and can be easily hurt when your feelings of security and happiness depend on the behavior and actions of other people. Never give your power to anyone else.”. Brian L. Weiss. Is it Valentine’s Day again already? Below are just a few of my ideas, but I’m sure there are many more. Love yourself enough to eat chocolate ch...

Wednesday, October 31, 2012. As October draws to a close I am reminded of the MANY "blogger-tunities" I was blessed with this month. Perhaps the most inspiring was my evening with Brenda Clubine. I met these extraordinary ladies at an event two weeks ago. The event was held in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It was my true honor and privilege to have shared the evening with these dynamic women. Amanda Graybill, founder of The Little Black Dress Society. Is free, the rest are not. In 2002, Pen...

Elf Lady's Chronicles: My Story
http://elfladyschronicles.blogspot.com/p/my-story.html
Learning to Forgive after Domestic Violence. But first, how did I get here to this day marking this terrifying anniversary? I didn’t realize that what my husband was doing was abuse at first. He wasn’t punching me in the face and giving me black eyes. So, it couldn’t be abuse, right? But I, on the other hand, have learned much. And that makes me the more fortunate person. I thought of myself as invisible, street savvy, strong, confident. And I still am. January 19, 2012 at 7:46 PM. May 16, 2012 at 3:00 PM.
