Surviving the Storm........

"If you want to know what it’s like to survive hell and still come out shining brighter than the sun, just look into the eyes of a woman who has survived intense damage and refused to allow it to destroy her softness.”  Powerful words that hit close to home. Never would I have imagined that I would be 45 and divorced after 20 years of marriage; a rocky marriage that ultimately ended in a cowardice act of domestic violence. An act that left me fleeing for my life in a hail of gunfire. Fortunately, God allowed me to survive for a greater purpose. I quickly realized that the "justice" system was flawed. Subpar victim advocates and a DA's office that was only interested in offering a plea deal because the case wasn't important enough, left me frustrated and disappointed. As I sat through the court hearings, I became aware of the women who did not have a support system. Resource information was limited. Inspired by Pretty Girls, Inc. was born out of a need to provide hope and assistance to victims of domestic violence. I learned that the storm will eventually run out of rain. Been through the storm…I survived.
