I Will Knock Down Barriers
;
For months I debated applying for the Saprea Retreat, then finally I did. Then I said I wasn’t going to go, but I did. Then I swore I wasn’t going to share my story while I was there, then I did. I kept knocking down barriers and each time I did I felt more empowered!Â
Being given the tools to move on was amazing! The friendships I have made along the ways are for a lifetime! They are a support system of soul sisters! I honestly wasn’t expecting the emotional week I would have, but it was so healing! And now I walk through life feeling like I am worthy. I am enough. I am strong.
