Lollipop Mom Rules !

“Lucky Lolli” sez:

As an “old- timer” Survivor now, some perspectives I can now embrace more fully include:

… feeling different about just how important my personal comfort is, really, -- yeah, its nice, but it ain't "all that" like it once was... There's bigger things now to me, like being there for others and giving the best I can to the world and my HP-- That which to me should have always been the biggest thing still takes the working on, to get there & to want it enough to sacrifice self-- to become more the truly self- transcendent, HP connected person I want to be....

I can take comfort in knowing that I am healing and that I can continue learn ways of coping that help me move on to a healthier more honest perspective. I can hold this thought even when I can’t quite believe it—I can “act as if” and that give me strength to go on another day. Others see me better than I do, and if they tell me I am progressing, I can know that there will be a day when I will see it too.

These are attitudes I find helpful. The attitudes of others and what they need to do is something I can't judge for anyone else.

These pages are a support for all of us who have walked this rocky road---

There is hope, as courageous Survivors & Thrivers in this new Millenium

Don’t give up before the Miracle!

Survivor! The Naked Truth
is about recovery, abuse, heart and healing, as told in artwork, words and pictures, guided by avatar “Lollipop Mom", including "First Aid” for survivors and thrivers and a "dysfunctional family tour"...

An Album to Heal the Hearts
Excerpts from the book, plus more from Book Two upcoming…
The naked truth, for this little girl, was butt-ugly. But it also had its moments, its corners of light. It is something one cannot endure alone. Something must have held and sustained a tiny flame of hope in all those years. The deep feeling of aloneness was there, but there had to be something more— otherwise, how could one endure? The “more” shows up in the corners, the backdrop of these pieces. It shows up in the colors, in the “gallows humor” that can poke fun at the darkness even while enveloped in it. Yes, I have this pain, but I have survived, and that is BIG. What’s more, I have lived to tell the story, and to help others tell their stories. That, for me, is everything. It brings out the “Lollipop Mom” in me. I know that in some areas, it may be “too late” for me to recover what has been lost— but for you, maybe, there can be more to hope for. That is my dearest wish.
