Wild Women you are my inspiration. Once wounded and now enduring the journey to wholeness through the limitless strength that lies within, you fill me with hope for healing each and everyone of you. 

Warmest love to all the children, women and girls who have suffered at the hands of a predator. 

From hopeless to HOPE!

"Janeen Goodrich, The Mother of a True Warrior Princess"

Are you aware?

Are you aware the majority of perpetrators of sexual abuse are people you know and trust?

It has been three and a half years since I learned of the abuse of my daughter.

Her perpetrator was someone I trusted.

He was my best friend.

He convinced myself and everyone around him he was honorable.

My tender five year old daughter knew better.

This man told my family he was put on this earth to take care of my children.

He adopted my children who were abondoned by their biological father.

He was the complete package on the outside.

I trusted him.

He knew my biggest fears.

He preyed on them and successfully convinced me he was our protector.

It continues to sadden me his family members have never acknowledged the truth.

He was a horrible, sociopathic man tried to destroy a beautiful soul.

His evil ways caused pain beyond words.

My beautiful daughter is strong and is healing.

She knows the truth and will soar as a result.

Truth does set you free.
It is my desire to encourage other mother's to trust their instincts.

Be aware.
Awareness and knowledge is the first step. 

Shame loves secrecy

Shame loves secrecy.

It is easy for most to ignore these facts. The raw truth is sexual abuse happens. It happens and we as a collective whole must reveal the secrecy and enable both the victims and perpetrators to heal to stop the cylce.

      C.S. Lewis certainly sums up the power of silencing a victim of sexual abuse. Please remember to be compassionate and understanding to others. There are so many people suffering on our planet from a myriad of problems. Sexual abuse is one of the many horrors plaguing every race, country and community.  Give victims a voice and share in the fight to make a difference. Consider a small donation to the Mana'Olana Project. The project was developed to provide funding to services currently providing education but needing additional monies to make a true impact.

If you personally have not been struck by this horror, your are forunate. As a mother of a sexual abuse survivor, the terror the nighmares the residual affects are long lasting and painstaking to observe. Have a heart and consider helping to stop the perverse behavior. I am trying to make a difference in a world who wants to pretend sexual abuse does not happen in their communities. PLEASE HELP!!
