From The Eye of the Hurricane provides some of the backstory for 100 Days of Giving. My desire to give, share and love is a direct result of my experiences. While sometimes difficult, it is important for people who have experienced abuse in their childhood to have hope and to know that we can be in charge of our lives and break the cycle of abuse...as we emerge from the eye of the hurricane.
From the Eye of the Hurricane is a collection of short
stories and poems about healing from an abuse survivor’s perspective.
Empowering, sad, freeing, then hopeful the stories move the readers from the
darkness of the storm to the light at the end of the tunnel, shedding light on what
abuse survivors may encounter on their healing journey, and acting as a
reminder, that you are not alone, we are not alone.

From the author...From The Eye of the Hurricane was written during a very
intense and difficult time while working to heal from many years of abuse as a
child. As the journey neared completion, it became important to share the ups
and downs of the daily struggle to find peace to create hope, to build
connections and to establish an edge of light to grasp before sinking back into
to the darkness.
Despite the difficult days, it was worth it, the cycle of
abuse is broken, and I became the person I was intended to be, not the broken
cast-off my parents and their parents before them created. My children have
known a mother who has fought hard to learn how to do this thing we call life differently
than she had been taught. I owed my children that. I am here to tell you that
it is possible, although extremely difficult; it is our responsibility to stop
the cycle of abuse. It is up to us to be the change we prayed for every night
as children. It is not too late and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you so much for joining me on this journey. Kathy
