There is no path to the path of the homeless woman …

The path of the homeless woman IS the path

There is no path to joy

Joy IS the path

There is no path to abundance

Abundance IS the path

The journey IS the path

I’m a mother of 3, and I’m a homeless victim of domestic abuse who is now healing in a shelter for broken women.

but I’m not broken

I found my strength in God within

My God is a Woman

God gave me a heart of a king to do what She has called me to do. I’m a Queen at rock bottom because I trusted a man with my heart and my money. A man I’ve been married to for over 20 years; But right now, I know self-love is not to suffer from abuse or give to people for validation and applause…

I’m giving to myself now and since it’s not too late to choose a better path, I’m walking the path of the homeless…
