The Transformative Power of Misfortune (3)

A poem about her triumph over adversity from a reader:

I could write to you about a grown up run away child that really … Loved to love-

Got beat up by a man that I loved

That was 2009

I went to Kauai

Walked and swam

Looked at beautiful things

Transformed

I returned to the scene of the crime

Took my power back

Did 9 ceremonies on some land

Then I moved to the city

By the river

I love my life!

I love my children who are men now- I love the choices I made as a younger woman- healing is provided when sought
