Need a critique. Applying lessons from module 1.6 amd 1.7

[Cheryl McKinneyParticipant]

Hello, if anyone has time to give me some feedback I would appreciate it. I’m trying to cut the fluff and be personal and powerful. Basically, I’m applying what we learned in module 1.6 and 1.7. But I don’t want it to sound overbearing or choppy. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Look Back To Learn

Don’t look back to long for things that cannot change from this point on. Look back to learn from the good and the bad. Look back to create a better day today and tomorrow.

Take what you have right now and shape it into something beautiful. You will thrive. You are not stuck. Live in the present, plan for tomorrow and be thankful about something.

I owned a blog for a long time, but I never stuck with it. I feared many things. Now I try to be brave and hope my writing resonates with someone. I am the survivor of an abusive marriage. I suffered from psychological, sexual and spiritual abuse. I hid for many years because I was embarrassed about it. I thought I could fix it. I longed for a wonderful marriage and family life. I was smiling on the outside while dying on the inside. Far down the road of abuse, I no longer realized what was and wasn’t a normal and healthy way to live. I lost my way and I lost myself. Somehow, I found the strength to keep going for my children. They are my gift from God. They are my treasured garden and I love taking care of them and watching them grow.

I was saved out of a horrible situation. Coming out of it was difficult. I suddenly became a displaced homemaker. Nothing to live on and three babies to take care of. That amazing journey made me stronger and grateful to be alive.

On your journey of healing and reclaiming your self-worth, practice a greater sense of awareness and listen to your life. You will find meaning and the things you are meant to do.

When I did this, two reoccurring themes echoed throughout my life. Writing and bullies.

-I have been writing all my life. Fiction. Journaling. Copywriting. Poetry. Since grade school, people told me I was good at it.

-I struggled with bullying for my whole life. I encountered my first bully in 4th grade. As an adult, I’ve experienced workplace bullying and marital abuse.

We all struggle with something until we learn to overcome it. I became aware of my struggles. Now I help others to overcome theirs.

Have you looked back lately? What have you learned?
