Narcissist lie about you they will lie about your character, your family, your friends and of course about what you did and how badly you treated them. They’ll say how hard they tried to make things work, but it is you who needs help. They’ll blame you for all the things they did to you.. (this is narcissistic abuse.. the blame game) . They will come across so innocent because they’re good at playing the victim and getting people to feel sorry for them.

It’s very difficult not to fall into the narcissist’s manipulative trap; especially after they have gaslit you, used you, lied to you, drained you emotionally and financially, and completely ruined your self esteem. But after you wake up and see them for who they truly are; and that is a person with a diagnosable mental illness…you will also begin to wake up to your worth. Don’t ever feel sorry for these abusers, they won’t care about you when they start devaluing you and finally discard you. Take care of yourself, love yourself and be very careful who you give your love to.

A powerful woman is a woman who possesses the character, determination, and the intellect to produce desired results for her life, regardless of obstacles or circumstances. She lives with undistracted purpose, and relented pursuit of her personal vision. Powerful women self-actualize., and they maximize their personal potential.
They are happy by themselves, and they make great mates for great men.
Powerful women do not tolerate insecurity in themselves. Insecurity is a mindset, and it leads to behaving beneath your potential, and it makes you subordinate to people who are often beneath you.
Stop trying to impress people, but rather be an impressive person!

Today my friends and I are headed to Cove Lake State Park to hike The Devil’s Race Track. This is a 5.7 mile hike that AllTrails rates as hard. I wanted to tackle my first difficult hike with my friends by my side. Join me on this adventure as we meet some really cool hikers, get great advice about hiking gear, and handle a difficult situation while supporting each other on the trail.
I truly could not have come this far on my journey to healing and self love without my wonderful friends there to support me and love me unconditionally even when I was a mess! I cannot begin to thank them enough! I have come so far, and I owe that to hiking and nature, my faith, RC Blakes Jr, and the love of my true friends. It has also helped to have something positive that I love and am passionate about to keep me focused on something positive.
You can do anything that you set your mind to if you are passionate about your purpose, and love what you do. What you give always comes back!
Just keep moving forward with your goals, keep a positive attitude, and stay focused.
Please subscribe to my YouTube channel, and help support this cause.
Thank you. Have a wonderful week, everyone 💜

Your insecurities are not ornate. They are not God given when you are born. Your insecurities are either from your trauma or your training. Queens cannot be insecure.

Domestic violence has increased by 8.1% during the Covid 19 Pandemic according to analysis released by the National Commission on Covid 19 and Criminal Justice. Stay at home orders have had a profound impact on society, leading to social, financial, and psychological repercussions. Unemployment has caused an economic strain. Quarantine conditions have led some to an increase in alcohol abuse, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. These factors have caused a catastrophic environment for those who’s lives are plagued by domestic violence. One in four women report some form of domestic violence each year. Please love one another and take care of each other. You just never know what someone may be going through. 💜 #

Today I Have Grown Taller From Walking With the Trees.
——Karl Wilson Baker.

Today Whiskey and I headed to Snow Falls to Laurel Falls trail in Dayton, Tennessee. AllTrails rates this trail as moderate, but there we’re definitely some pretty difficult parts to it. It’s always a peaceful, healing experience when I’m out there, and today was no exception. Whiskey was great company, and an awesome trail guide!
Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel, and support Trails 2 Healing, a nonprofit organization that I’m trying to start to help women with a history of domestic violence and /or trauma, by incorporating hiking and nature in the healing process. God bless you all, and I’ll see you on the trail. Peace ✌️.

In abusive relationships, it's very common for victims of abuse to live in a state of fight or flight. While it may not be fully elevated at all times, individuals in this position have been conditioned to remain fearful and unsure of what is going to come next.
