As a survivor of childhood abuse, I finally discovered narcissism and how it affects every member of the family. If you’ve just discovered what narcissism entails, you have my sympathy, but relax, you’ll soon learn to negotiate all the pitfalls and move from surviving to thriving. Don’t let the Narcissist and Flying Monkeys get you down, because knowledge is power and it’s now your turn to rise!

Hey Friends, It’s Freedom Friday! “The caged bird sings with a fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom." -Maya Angelou The more controlling a government, religion or parent becomes—the more rebellion it will incite in the people who feel oppressed. This is why so many people are carrying signs in Women’s Marches, waving rainbows at Gay Pride, exiting evangelical churches and calling their congresspersons. Here in the United States, men worry about losing their guns, while women worry about losing their reproductive rights. All conflicts and wars begin because somebody tells someone else what they can or cannot do. There is no friendship, love or loyalty without freedom—everything else is a facade. So if you want someone to love you, that old adage is still true—set them free and if they come back to you, the love is real. When it comes to dealing with narcissistic parents and exes, remember freedom is a two way street. Don’t let other people dictate who you are, it will only drain you and eventually disappoint them. In the words of Maya Angelou, “Be prepared to be yourself and only yourself.” You were meant to be free! #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #survivor #woke #selfcare #freedom #dreambig #newlife #freedomfriday #pocketfullofsunshine #LittleRedSurvivor

It’s Wake-Up Wednesday Friends! What are we waking up to this morning? Here in the United States, we seem to be losing our compassion for the rest of the world. Our government has withdrawn from the human rights council while we are in the midst of a human rights crisis. This page is about narcissism and how it impacts our relationships. On a larger scale, a country who takes a narcissist approach where it has no concern for human rights and how we as a nation impact the rest of world will not end healthfully unless heroes and sheroes arise to combat evil. The cry to stop separating children from their mothers has people from all political sides and it is growing more angry every day. From Oprah to child mental health experts to every living First Lady, to the neighbor next door, many have spoken up. Most of us have shed tears and disgust at this abuse. The response to the cry of a human child is primal—it was put within us to care for the most fragile in our society. Such desperate cries can only be ignored by those who are either racist or narcissistic. Yet our leaders—many able to put a foot down to stop it, continue with business as usual. Their lack of concern will not only harm their own future, but the future of our country. Immigrants are NOT a drain on our system. Immigrants pay taxes and do jobs many Americans refuse. Immigrants bring new ideas and healing to our land. Immigrants are not stealing our jobs and land—they are bringing their own passions and hands with resources our country needs. But regardless of what good can come from adding to our country’s resources, we as a nation should never allow the separation of children from their parents on our watch. Maybe your friends are supporters of this new regime, but you might be able to make difference. Call your congressperson. Befriend an immigrant. Give to human rights groups working at the border. Wake up Friends! Show the rest of the world what we as non-narcissistic empaths can do. Just say no to narcissism. Take the road less traveled. #narcissism #immigration #children #humanrights #abuse #resistance #makeamericakindagain #riseupchurch #riseupmothers #riseupempaths #womensmarch

Writing memoir can be hard. I thought mine was finished a year ago, but the editing process is like a million rabbit trails and each one has to be examined and reigned in or gated off. I read once that writing a novel is easy because you can just make the plots up, but writing memoir is hard because your plot comes disguised with lots of extra memories so writing memoir is the process of trimming and editing to find the plots in your life. I wish I’d understood story theory when I started writing this memoir, it might’ve saved me lots of time, but I’m learning now and my memoir is a completely different book than the one I started to write. If you are thinking of writing a memoir, I recommend following K.M. Weiland. She has a plethora of articles and videos on writing stories. As you look for the plot in your memoir, it should follow a pattern called the universal story which is in every movie and book. You can find these listed in depth at her site: HelpingWritersBecomeAuthors.com Don’t settle for a scramble or rant—your story is important and it’s worth the extra time to create a cohesive story that you can share with satisfaction. Keep dreaming! Keep writing! Your messy story matters! #memoirmonday #memoir #storytelling #story #survivor #narcissisticabuse #childhoodmemories #writingmemoir #yourstorymatters #littleredsurvivor #keepwriting
