Gratitude

I’m Here, Sweetheart
Ever since I got my insecurity addiction under control, I’ve been going back into my memories when I was a little kid, to my terrible memories, and just sitting with her. I can’t change what happened, but I can go back and be with her. Comfort her. I’ve become a loving mom to that poor little girl, to all my many selves from the past, at any age. I will never blame them for my miseries, ever again. I’m their mom who loves them now. And I always will be.
Best Gift Ever

Best Gift Ever
This readers asked for a hardback copy of Freak for Christmas. She sent me this photo (before the new cover). Best gift ever! I’m so grateful to all of you for reading my crazy memoir, and inspiring me to create Hurt Magic because you wanted to help kids before they become basket case adults, like I was. I love you all so much. Let’s get Hurt Magic to every kid who’s been bullied or abused! Or any other child who needs it.
Happy Friday the 13th!
