Take Off Your Sunglasses

Hello everyone and thank you for taking the time to visit.  This website is devoted with loving concern to all women who at one time or another fell in love with someone that abused them in some form. 

This website will be used as a vessel to connect with women of all ages as I promote my first published work, entitled, TAKE OFF YOUR SUNGLASSES.  I was inspired with this title when I thought about all the many things I used to keep people from truly knowing who I was.  Many of us, like myself walk around carrying pain, guilt, shame and the worst ANGER, because of something that happened in our past long ago.  I wrote this book as a means to get in touch with Cheryle and free myself.  I finally recognized what I was carrying around was unhealthy and I made peace with myself, and thank God finally I can now share in a positive way, my experience, strength and hope with others.

My new book was also inspired by all the women who have suffered, are still suffering ,or who lost the fight against DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.  I know these women, I was one of these women.  I relate to loving someone so much I/we lost ourselves.  When you read the book you will get to know the inner thinking of a young woman named Mia and understand how her thinking controls her life to the point of self destruction.  This young woman is not unique in her dysfunction, however the joy comes in the morning when she faces her reality and "Takes Off Her Sunglasses".  Can you get honest with yourselves and take off all the things you hide behind?

My hope is that someone will come away from reading this story, which is a wild ride indeed, and feel empowered and know for sure they are not alone, nor are they crazy or different from many other women.  We ALL can stand up and survive to tell our own story.  Ladies we need to help someone rise up and walk away from an unhealthy relationship and this is a matter of life and death.
