Breaking News.

In this atmosphere of information being filtered through social media as quick as the speed of sound, sometimes it is hard to stay focused.  News outlets repeat the same stores several times and then are forced to "correct" elements of the same story in an effort to be the "first" with the breaking news.  "BREAKING NEWS" can interrupt the best of movies, it can startle the mind and it can inform of a present or pending catastrophe.  My own inclination when news breaks for my immediate attention is to brace myself, asking "what in the world is going on".  Then I pray.  Someone near or far could be facing an unexpected force of nature (for instance) and for that person - their own private world is imploding - what to do next?  

"Deborah's Freedom" was birthed because I wanted to encourage others who has had to endure a domestic abuse situation and SURVIVED.  Since the death of my brother and my mother (passing away two days apart), life just seems "different' for me.  The platform of "being there for you" remains the same because I want to be a life-line to you from my own experience but there is so much more to me.  My desire to "give myself away" is ever before me.  BREAKING NEWS i want to be transparent and that of an open-book to the readers of my website, this blog and my FaceBook page because life is "really" short.  It grieves me to read about women who rehearse their pain and not seek a strategy for recovery.  So many men and women I meet wear the grave clothes of their past and in turn lose the ability to grab hold of an incredible future that awaits them.  How do I know, I have done it myself.  I have been a survivor for over 20 years but NO ONE in my circle of concern even knew I had endured a "dark" side because I learned how to "hide it".  

It is amazingly difficult to live life "hiding" and seeking to "pretend" that life did not deal you a bad hand at one time or another.  How about taking off your mask - as I am - because I am now seeking to live life fearlessly and authentically.  Be sure, I am not going to stop everyone I meet and tell them my life story - but to you, ask the question, I will give you an answer.  What hurt in my life likely hurt badly - it happened, and it is over.  Period.  I am on to new conquests.  

The best is yet to come,  

I hope to re-energize every reader to become their authentic self.  Leave your past behind.  Let the haters continue to hate.  I have found haters to be my best advertisement!!  Anyone who can find so much about me to talk about has got to be a fan!  Sooooo - thank you for talking about me.  Problem is, the haters talk about who you once were because they turned their heads and did not realize you worked your way into freedom.

These pages are "Deborah's Freedom".  Welcome to my world.  

Please share your voices of victory.  It will set YOU free and it will set someone else free.

Let's do this.
