Badass warrior survivor, I believe you. You are not alone. Healing truly is a daring adventure. It's outside the box of what we have known as survivors. The terrain is new. We don't know what to expect, AND yet, we are not alone. You are surrounded by an army of survivor warriors rising up in an uprising. We are beating the ground so you can hear that we are here. Listen for our roaring on the wind. Feel the shaking in the earth. We are coming. You are not alone.You made it through the abuse, the trauma, the attacks, the violence, and the mind games. You ARE going to make it through the healing too. I wonder what healing you can embrace once you open these pages. May this book invite you into that healing journey, into rest in the journaling, the coloring, the pondering, and the invitation. You are not alone. You are believed. I am holding out my battle-scarred hand in the mud of this journey. Let's do this thing. Together.What People Are Saying about Rising Up in an Uprising: "This book is AMAZING...
