One Day at a Time

Ever since my world came crashing down around me when I was 16 years old as I confronted the sexual abuse of my childhood and everything that stemmed from it I have had a guiding motto in my life that has been instrumental in helping me move forward...one day at a time. It has been my experience that within that manageable segment of time you can handle just about anything life throws at you. And yes sometimes-when the going gets especially rough and the horizon appears extra dark-that one day can become one second. Yet regardless of the measurement the principle holds true...as the sun sets on today a new day dawns tomorrow-a blank page to begin writing something new.For me as I journeyed from victim to victor and learned one day at a time how to survive my daily blank pages began to fill up with personal thoughts reflections and insights as I wrote down my experiences of finding hope in my heartache faith in my pain and understanding in my despair. These daily thoughts serve as the basis for this book. My hope is that something shared will help inspire and uplift you.This book is dedicated to all those who have walked-or are currently walking-the difficult path from victim to survivor. I believe in you! You are worth it! Begin your journey of finding hope in each day as you navigate your own path of healing...one day at a time.
