In like a lion

March. Women’s History Month.

My history month.

Two years ago I made a stand against a person who terrorized and bullied me for many, many years.

Two years ago I said, "I am not going to take it. I don’t deserve it."

I made my history two years ago in March.

It has been a struggle since then. I have had to fight off inner demons and ancient pains, wild nights of fear, shame and guilt.

This year, starting with My History Month, I am going to wrap myself around me and give me compassionate, unconditional love wherever and whenever I can.

I have always said to parents: "No one will fight for your child but you."

And so, from today, I pledge to myself that I will fight for me. I will make a stand for me. I will parent me.
