It's very sad to see someone you love unable to end what's bad for them and your being with them. However, at some point, we must choose ourselves... A powerful and educative story, Yolanda. Thanks for this.

Beautifully written inspiring words, thank you for having the courage and confidence to share. Life I find is one long journey of lessons and taking your words of “ Nothing remains the same; the hand of God is always available when faith is present in our hearts” are very powerful providing reassurance we are never alone and have God’s guidance if we are open to and aware of it. I pray that in the future your writings find the path to be seen and help many people because it’s a very apparent gift you have from God. ❤️🙏

Thanks, Yolanda. It is never easy to share one’s personal story especially when more than the affected individual is involved. Grateful for your sharing. And yes, we need more collective positive stories of overcoming the odds! All best wishes ❤️

A raw, courageous, and deeply moving journey. Your vulnerability invites healing not just for yourself, but for others walking through similar darkness. Thank you for showing that the way through is where true transformation begins, Yoli. I’ve got a copy of The Art of Flow; this is the encouragement I needed to finish reading it.
