My heart
goes out to survivors who find the holidays difficult and depressing due to
horrific memories of the criminal who assaulted them during this time of the
year. I pray you find a good therapist
to help you resurrect your spirit and you learn to enjoy a life that far
surpasses your hopes and dreams. I pray
one day you grow strong enough to crush those dark memories and replace them with
new memories filled with endless peace and joy.
Meanwhile, I
would like to suggest that you to start writing about the good memories you want
to have some day. Write in detail about everything
you see, hear, feel, taste, and touch. If
you’re not sure how to begin, I’d like to give you a couple of ideas. Maybe start off writing about a far away
sound or a close one, and let your heart guide you to your holiday paradise. Where are you? If you’re indoors, what’s an object in the
room you’re curious about? Pick it up
and do something with it. How much light
is in the room, and how does it make you feel? If you’re outdoors, describe everything you see, hear, feel, touch, and
taste. Describe every detail.
Start
focusing on exactly what you want no matter how impossible it may seem to you right
now. Believe it will happen. Pray for it to come. Keep your dream alive, and it will keep you
alive until it becomes your reality.
