Thank you for sharing what many would consider a very personal part of your life with us Roze.  I can certainly appreciate bringing things of value into the new year, though I haven't ahd much to bring with me I have a few things. 

A "step-daughter" that will always be a great friend and I will love as my own even if she isn't.  My strength and resolve to be better than those who did me harm this past year.  My logical and emotional abilities to heal myself and those around me.  Most of all my rediscovered faith, which will continue to guide me and make my life better than it has been in a great many years.

Hi Roze

Hang on to that comforting feeling of having found a secure place within and around yourself. Let the scars remind you of the pain and what it took to make it go away again.

You do not need to harm yourself again.

Hugs from here. I`ll take time to reflect on what I need to take with me into the next  year.
