Some books that are on my mind:
The Sanctuary Garden: Creating a Place of Refuge in Your Yard or Garden
Life-Changing Magic: A Journal - Spark Joy Every Day
The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men
This is a MUST READ
"Setting Boundaries is Essential to Your Empowerment"
blog post - Womb of Light
I will continue to post helpful resources here, as I collect them, and I welcome suggestions!
It's incredible. Here I am! I'm strong. I'm safe. I'm home at last. My four amazing awesome kids are snuggled in bed. And I'm looking at a 10 month old Australian Shepherd puppy sleeping on the floor by my leg as I sit at the dining room table -- a little love bug who is all worn out from his first day as part of our family -- and I can't help but think that life IS good after all.

I am so sorry to hear about that experience. Wishing you safety and peace.
I'm so sorry. But so glad you are all safe. :)
Thank you! It's amazing to be free from fear, and enjoying doing simple things like driving a car or going to the grocery store.
One of my friends at the shelter asked for some suggestions for self-help books on Empowerment. I'm giving her You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment by Thich Nhat Hanh, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You're Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are: Your Guide to a Wholehearted Life by Brene Brown, and Fly Like a Butterfly: Yoga for Children by Shakta Kaur Khalsa (for her to enjoy with her kids).
So sorry this happened in your family. You are all in my thoughts. It is a very brave thing to share your experience here, thank you.
