I M Perfect lady

Big Screen!

Last night I was able to have an early viewing of my episode that David Cowardin and Lola Visuals created.  I was a bit nervous…and was pondering why.

What I know, is that we (the outspoken) are not viewed as being kind…being compassionate or anywhere near loving.  We are out to 'hurt' someone.

I spoke and shared to the people who are without a voice.  I wasn't speaking to the ones who want me silent and who see me as bad.

I am speaking to encourage others to speak. Sharing in a hopeful manner.  Opening up the space to stand like I stand.

I feel that between David and I, we accomplished what I had envisioned.  That stepping away from abuse and the recovery from its affects…will free you to be in love, peace and joy. To be a you that is no longer tied to the strings of shame.

This is the stigma we are trying to shake lose, that it is UNKIND to speak out…for it makes you mean.

I didn't see me being unkind.

I didn't see me angry.

I didn't see me mean.

I did see my life in a 8 minute review…from abuse to recovery. The joys of following your soul.  Of finding the comfort of nature for it never changes.  A tree is a tree and it doesnt' change.  

I saw me totally in love with myself and the awe that my art showed me the way.

I saw me showing me so others can see themselves.

Thanks David.  Your gentle soul touched mine and together we can share and touch others.  It is for the shameful.  It is for those who can't stand.  It is giving you courage to stand in your life…embrace who you are no matter where you find yourself. 

I am proud of my episode, my journey, my art and My Lady….and me!  We are on the Big Screen!

    Wouldn’t it be really, really cool if someone with some connection to a NBC affiliate could somehow get this noticed for the nation to see under the rocks you are lifting up so just more than folks who have experience with the Lastadians could be aware of the real animals the denial is providing cover for. I would think you would be celebrated out at the ole church yard for doing all of the loving ones a great big favor the expose the rot. Earl

    Earl, it is a surreal experience and one that is exciting and terrifying…when you consider that nothing has changed in 10 years, (or for decades), since I became aware.
    No matter how much I have written about it, or my brother’s phone calls, or my public talks, the quilts and now the film, the church continues on without a burp.
    It doesn’t appear to have any leaks in the practice of forgiveness of sins that allow children to continue being abused. All I can hope for is that someone, somewhere is doubting the churches values and morals. Someone somewhere will begin standing up and speaking like me.
    Our voices joined together will make a difference!
