One wild and precious life

Here I am looking at the crystal clear waters of the East coast of Tasmania. The orange glow of the rocks, the crystal clear waters and long coastlines.

It's just a stunning part of the world. I can't help but feel so very lucky, so very grateful for life. I have my beautiful family, life is good and I can be grateful for the good. Sure I'm pretty angry. I’m angry that the world has lost such a beautiful soul like Georgia. Taken away before her time. I’m fearful for loved one and hoping that his surgery went really well today. I hope they recovers easily and well and can get back to there full strength. I’m angry and mad that the system has failed me and my family yet again. That this monster of a man manages to find loopholes in the legal system.

But this world is beautiful and this one wild and precious life of mine is going to count.

my abuser will not find a loophole in my brain. He has no power to destroy my family, my life or my marriage. I'm going to make sure of that! I will do everything in my power. I have been to and exploring some magnificent parts of the world. Which has helped me realize how little power my abuser has over me. That, I am the power of my mind, my body and I will not let my abuser in anymore. Enough is enough, for him and the system that fails to speak for the people. The people of this land, the systems are broken and they need to be re-built.

I can feel the sun warm on my skin, I can smell the salt in the air, I can hear the lapping of the waves, I can see these beautiful orange rock. I can feel the weight, of the carrier on my back and my son's sleeping blissfully listening to my heartbeat.

I don't know what is to come of this one wild precious life of mine but I know it will be grand. I'm going to leave an amazing legacy, a legacy of power to the people and healing of trauma. Reducing ace scores of the next generation and showing parents how to thrive.
