I apologize for having been away for a time. As you, my readers, can imagine, writing a very personal blog requires something of a person that mere commentary does not. At the same time, recovery from cult trauma is neither linear nor predictable; one day things can seem fine, and the next you’re that little girl again, hiding, afraid, because if anybody sees you there will be another beating, more repercussions from the church.

That all being said, there is news. I will be back in my writing saddle, and I’m working on a cult education project for which more details shall be forthcoming. There may also be a video series in the future – again, more about that as it develops.

But my spirituality has been on its own journey, with insights about trust and my own relationship with God, who I am, who I’ve been, and so much more. I’ve come to understand how much was stolen from me by the church – the cult of my youth, and I stull struggle with self-acceptance and trust because of this. These are questions that will be more of the focus of upcoming posts, along with the requisite poetry, and possibly even videos. So, please stay tuned!
