Many women don’t tell anyone about the abuse they’re living in. Others, or later, will confide in a close friend, family member, or her pastor. Hopefully these people will be loving support for her. But most will not have accurate information to help her in properly dealing with abuse or the trauma it’s caused.

He doesn’t have to hit her, to keep her under his control. Much abuse is hidden. But is just as damaging as if he smacked her around—or more so. Living Coram Deo & freely wholeSDG!~ Liberty

Real plant oils** have been proven to have natural healing properties, not only for physical ailments but also for our emotions. **Not synthetic or adulterated fragrances, even those labeled “essential oil”, but are not true or high quality real natural plant oils with therapeutic benefits.

At your work. At the mall. At your gym. At the coffee shop. In your book club. In your church pews. 1 in 3! Yes, you know her! 💔
October is DV Awareness Month. So, I’m dedicating more posts to this topic this month. Because 1 in 3! 😢 As DV educator, survivor advocate and coach, I not only help the 1 in 3, but I also desire to educate the other 2 in 3 women, as well as men, so you all can become compassionate helpers.

This isn’t my typical post, as I usually share on recognizing abuse/gaining clarity and gaining healing, recovery and rebuilding. But I feel this topic fits into gaining Clarity.
