To check out the book I'm writing about my personal, true-crime type life and journey that got me here, follow my Patreon (link in LinkTree)! Chapter one will be available in its entirety by the end of day on 8/21/24!
Today is a special day for me, as it marks 2 years since I escaped domestic violence that nearly ended my life, as my ex wife was slowly poisoning me for a large sum of money that belonged to my sister, just like my dad had done to my mom exactly 30 years earlier. Except I didn't know this when I escaped. But something told me to stop at my car that day two years ago, and take a picture of myself. Months later I would see the date and time on the picture and understand a new significance to my escape. July 25, 2022 at 11:00 am. My mother had died on July 25, 1992 at 11:15 am after my dad and his cousin poisoned her for the last time, almost exactly 30 years earlier.
I promised a bonus episode today that involved talking about my journey through homelessness over the past two years, but I realized that the trauma and the hardships themselves are no longer the highlight of my story. Instead, my story is about the ways in which I've found ways to make magic out of those significant portions of my life--just like my Appalachian momma taught me to do decades earlier.
Enjoy this episode of hope, joy, and resilience, brought to you by my inner child. The same inner child who sweetly tugged at my sleeves today and reminded me that the adult version of me was trying to celebrate a loss that she never got to mourn.
As always, check out my LinkTree to follow me on socials, to hear more about my story via guest spots I've done on other podcasts, and more!!! Thank you for coming over to my house once again!
