Can You See My Heart?

Good Morning Everyone! Whether it touches us personally or not we are all affected by abuse in one way or another. A question I frequently think about is, "Can you see my heart" because we have and are making it through some of life's toughest chapters! We are slowly and with an enormous amount of pain moving ahead, healing and touching bases with others who are hurting. Some of us are at the point where we refuse to hide our hurts and wounds anymore and others are joining us steadily each day to heal our fractured bodies and minds.Our bodies and our hearts may have been broken and abused but we will and do stand up amid the ruins of what has been left of our dreams through no fault of our own, rejoicing together for each milestone we transverse.

We have a lot going on around the site this month!

Here are a few items from poems to stories that I pulled out of a few different ports. They touched me deeply as I'm sure they will you.

To make this interesting to you, the readers, I have a challenge.
I would like to see who can finish all the reveiws that are at the top of the page in blue first and they will WIN a 2 month upgrade donated by me! How's that for a challenge?
But the kicker is you have to make the reveiws public, they have to be in depth of 250 words each and you have to be the first to notify me that they are done!
Now lets see who wins!

If you like these kind of little challenges at the end of your newsletters be sure and let stacylynn71 know, maybe she won't come after me with a big club!
