About Me

My photo
TishaRie
I live an unbeleivably ordinary life. I have a loving, patient husband who remembers the important things like anniversaries and picking his socks up off the floor. I have two rowdy boys and one sweet girl who daily challenge the depths of my patience and my capacity to give and receive love. I cannot even begin to understand the measure of grace that has led me to this perfectly normal existence. As a survivor of childhood abuse and trauma, including the taboo discussion topic of sexual abuse, statistics say I should be anywhere but here, in the middle of my peaceful, ordinary life. While I may come from a place filled with brokeness and darkness, I was blessed to have so many incredible people along the way point me towards the Light. As a result, I feel a deep sense of obligation to share my story, because I can. I am still here. I still have a voice. I am just trying to discover exactly how to use it.
