Most people think trauma is the event itself…
But real trauma lives in the experience, the story we absorbed, and the patterns we had to build to survive.

When you understand this, you understand yourself.
And once you understand yourself, you can finally begin to heal.

They told me
you can’t be
the storm
and the flower

choose, they said

be soft or
be strong
never both

so i broke their rules
and grew
thorns on my petals

some days i cry
over broken wings
other days i break
the rules that broke me

both days i am powerful

they never taught us
that being tender
is its own kind
of rebellion

that letting yourself
be seen while you’re
still shaking
is bravery in bloom

that the hands
that say grace
carry claws
like promises kept

i am the quiet
and the scream
the prayer
and the battle cry
the open hand
and the sworded fist

the truth is
i am not either/or
i am both/and

i am the fragile
and the fierce

a song
of my own making

I’m taking part in the Cold Swim for Women this Nollaig na mBan to raise much needed funds for Women’s Aid.

Across Ireland one in four women live with suffocating abuse from someone they once loved; someone they once trusted. Every 5 minutes, someone reaches out to Women’s Aid for information and support.

Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate a lot or a little, anything helps. I hope you can support me by donating whatever you can. By supporting Women’s Aid you can change lives and save lives.

Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely. You can also share my page using Share options above. This is a great way to show your support.

Thanks so much for your support, it will bring hope, healing and the possibility of a brighter future for women and children.
