I believe everyone has at least one good book tucked inside of them. A story to tell. A journey to unfold. Words on a page that speak life to life. As our own worst critic, one might surmise their book to be insignificant, not quite a page-turner, or perhaps a story already told countless times before. Then there's that moment. The moment that defines our uniqueness as individuals, and therefore the awe-inspiring beauty of our own story! For me, August 15, 2013, gave birth to that moment. Years later, a very pregnant version of myself sits at the computer to tell of this moment. As my daughter grows inside of me, I am emboldened to share such a painful event as to hopefully educate the universe and protect someone else's daughter (or son) from the horror of gaslighting.

Here's the moment that forever changed the trajectory of my life and redefined the passion I have for life.
