I started out not processing with what was happening in life and at some point I had to step up. I tried to process my childhood trauma in my early 30's then married and two young children but it did not seem to help. I found myself spinning my wheels with no changes happening.

This is about you the audience and the community. Owning the fact that you cannot continue to be the victim, you recognize it and fight through it. The downfalls have been necessary to get to success. Cindy's life changed when Cindy started a relationship with God. When Cindy found faith she was not afraid to go at it alone.

I am in an unfamiliar territory with just learning what real love is. Looking back I see the gaps in what could have been more successful personal relationships now that I can reflect on my mistakes and what I was seeking was so unhealthy and if I knew what real love was I could have built a better life with someone that was healthy.

Being homeless stripped me of my value and I lived in some fear. It was hard to continue when I thought I needed to be rescued and anyone that could help me was in Texas when I was in Tennessee.

How the way I grew up lead me to seek the same type of love in adult dating relationships. I did not see that getting into a relationship with my ex-husband was not good. I was attracted to that type of love that I had learned from childhood. We had to start moving from Texas to the Southeast for my husband's job and how it changed me.

Cindy have had the opportunity to processing in real time things that are happening in her life. She has experienced real time revelations every time she share my story. To share you have to be vulnerable and open and that takes a lot of courage to be able to do. Each of our foundations of who we become all starts in childhood but not all of our childhoods are great foundations to start from .
