What good advice! What worked for me was a wonderful book called " Beauty For Ashes" by Joyce Meyer. She was abused in her childhood and she is a preacher. Her writing is very down to earth and REAL!

I have never been one to open up and talk aloud about my feelings or what i have experienced. I have always benefited most from self help books like hers, most especially christian ones.

You must find a way to ignore that tape recorder in your mind telling you every mean, hurtful thing somebody had to say to you about you...erase it would be wonderful...

You are here for a reason and I know it isn't so you can hate what you see when you look into the mirror....

look inside yourself without the mirror and no doubt you will see a kind, loving, beautiful spirit!
