Angrboða awoke the next morning having no idea what lay in store. She always felt she could trust her father. He had never lied, never stole, and his advice and counsel had never led her astray. So when Dane came down for breakfast with a sullen face, Angrboða could never have guessed what was weighing so heavily upon his mind.

I fell in love for the first time at seventeen. It was a late summer night bathed by the light of a sky full of stars. A nip of autumn was teasing the air as a bonfire burned in the distance. I hid with him in a field of maize and he kissed me there, the smell of damp earth floating up beneath us.

It’s an awful shame that’s even a question. We don’t question if we should report a burglary, a car crash, or any other type of assault. But unfortunately, rape falls into its own unique category. A survivor of a sexual assault needs to consider many factors when it comes to reporting.

Dear Richard,
We’ve recently welcomed a new year and today is your birthday, so it’s to be expected that you’re up late taking stock of the state of your life and I’m not surprised that you seem to be finding yourself unhappy. I can certainly relate to that sentiment.

I won’t let you nail me to that cross,
Not even one more time.
Jesus died for our sins
So I don’t have to die for mine.

I don’t want to hurt him,
But I have to let him go.
His heart’s not mine to keep.
His path is not mine to follow.

It’s my birthday month and I have many goals, hopes, and wishes. One of those is to drum up support for the YWCA Cass Clay. This nonprofit is near and dear to my heart. The staff and volunteers give so much of themselves to create a compassionate, caring, and healing environment for vulnerable women and children in my community. Please consider making a contribution to my fundraiser for the YWCA – every bit helps ❤
