Re: Iron the Girl - my story

Hi Nora,
I just want to tell you how sorry I am to hear what you went through. You are such a beautiful, glowing person and obviously very strong and loving. I sincerely hope that someday you will be able to see that yourself. I really mean that. I don't know what would make someone hurt a person the way your cousin did. I would imagine that he was abused himself at some point. That is often how it works. It sounds like rather than continuing the process and abusing someone else, you are turning that rage inward and inflicting pain on yourself. I hope that you can see that there is another option. You can end the cycle. Make it stop with you. Make it your life's mission to heal this pain and live a happy life. Commit yourself to healing so that you can help other young women who have gone through this.

Nora, the first step is forgiving yourself! You have to forgive yourself. You deserve peace, love, and forgiveness. Turn that little voice off in your head that tells you otherwise. It is not telling you the truth. The truth is that you are a beautiful, intelligent, compassionate survivor. I believe that before we are even born, we choose our mission. My guess would be that you chose to go through this in order to help others. Take your power back. It is time now to heal. You are on your way.

Please email me if you ever want to talk!
Love,
