I am a poet inspired by an abusive childhood. I have been stalked by those who have abused me and support the abuse...Threatened to SHUT UP from their attorney(s), because they didn't want certain things exposed. Funny thing is, being a poet...Though their attorney letters they got poetic justice. Their attorney didn't understand (the importance of the FAMILY SECRET). Their attorney exposed what they were fighting me not to expose. (The name of the man who molested me). I have rights to write about my life...I move from one site to another hoping to find a solid place I can express my feelings and release myself for my own healing. (If those that want to SHUT ME UP because they think my poetry damages their reputation (even though it doesn't mention their names) would not stalk me and do google searches daily on me, or my pen name, they would never have known I write poetry about my life or how they have inspired me). I have co-founded www.LavenderPower.org where Lavender Power reconizes Survivor SUCCESSor's that are role models and use their natural talents to help others inspire to heal by using their own natural talents. Lavender Power encourages survivors to SPEAK OUT using their VOICE or their ARTS to break the Cycle. Breaking the Cycle is the only hope to ending the epidemic of abuse of any kind.
