Letters from The Beast

This is the battle of The Beast that lives inside of me. The Beast is the perceived realities created by years of abuse and mental illness. This is my path to recovery and the everyday battle to stay happy and peaceful in my heart. My book "The Beast" is on Audible and Amazon.

The Keys - Part One

- August 17, 2017

21 Keys is a professional workshop that my school district strongly believes in. Every teacher in our district gets this training in their second year. I am fortunate enough to be part of this district and have the opportunity for personal and professional growth. 21 Keys is put out by the Pacific Institute and written by Lou Tice. This is my interpretation of the keys and how they can help me change my life. Key One Conditioning and Perception Noise from the past shapes your perception of the present. STOP THE NOISE We behave and act not in accordance with the truth but how we believe. Our conditioning creates a sensory that blocks information out of your environment. Lou Tice calls this our scotoma. The problem with scotoma (blind spots) is we don't know where they are and when we can't perceive something we make it wrong. This is part of our conditioning. One of my blind spots is my self worth. My experiences have given me a lot of doubt and fear. I've...

Dear Wife

- August 25, 2017

Dear Wife, You don't know me but you could look at social media and easily find out how I know you. I know something about your life that is none of my business. The thing is, once upon a time people knew things about my life that were none of their business as well. No one was given a choice to know the things they knew. It was my husband who played games and lived a not so secret life. The world around me struggled with the information they had and they often questioned if they should speak the truth to the wife whose life was none of their business.

I wound up cutting off all the friendships in the end anyway. Not because they didn't tell me. I understood the dilemma and conundrum they felt as they spoke about me in their kitchens. "That poor women." I...

Little girl lost

- August 07, 2017

Little girl lost, I know you still hurt. I know you're still angry. I know you are angry with me. Most of all I know you are strong. I know you will heal. I know you will do the right thing. I know you will kill the beast. I promise you I still suffer for the Beast that I battle. I still suffer for keeping my eyes closed from the very beginning. There was a red banner flying over his childhood home. When I met his mother I could feel the beast's breath hot in the room. When he disappeared for 13 hours during the days of our engagement I felt the blood of the beast enter my veins as I accepted the ring back. When I woke up in his mother's home at 6 o'clock in the morning without a trace of him I signed the deal and the beast took over my life. I gave up to him before I ever spoke out vows. I let the beast control my life from that point on. He had my soul and I was dead inside. I'll tell you what I sold my soul for, a beautifu...
