Guest Posting - War Story

Amy has a feature on her blog, Spread A Little Thin, called War Stories. Contributors are invited to share their struggles and hard lessons with the intent to encourage and validate others.

What I chose to write is the backstory for several posts and a poem I've published here. Since it's my backstory, you can bet it's a little gritty and personal, but she asked for a war story so I gave her something I battled and survived. It was a long time ago, so I feel okay sharing it.

I hope you'll go read, and I'd love for you to get to know Amy and her blog, too.

  1. I read it. I read it again. I just don't know what to say other that I am so sorry that you had to go through that. I hope you know that monsters exist for a reason, so we can slay them and become stronger.

  4. I've finally taken a moment to read this, and I'm so happy I did. You are truly a great person because you understand that our past doesn't make us, but what we do with it does. You've decided to grow form your past and use it to help others. Yet, another reason, I'm proud to call you friend.
