I Share The Fight

My life has been greatly impacted by both Breast Cancer & Domestic Violence.
As for the latter,
I know how hard it is to climb out of that trench. And it's a daily struggle once your out as well. It's harder than most may think to not allow yourself to dig yet another trench in which to hide. Eye contact with those around you can be devastating. The thought of strangers being able to see how empty you are inside. Debilitating actually.
I now try to empower those impacted by Domestic Violence. At the same time it is keeping me lifted above the preverble trench. I never want to build such a concrete wall around my inner self ever again. Being able to help others feel good about themselves is a very healing tool.            Avon is amongst the largest contributors to end Domestic Violence. Every purchase made through The Causes gives a donation to that particular cause. We are even able to donate without a purchase.
I am very blessed to have found my way back. I did not do it alone. I had the support of my children and the man I am so blessed to have met. His patience and kindness just wrapped around me and I felt safe for the first time in years.
If you are in need of help, please reach out to your local community. They just may be a life line for you. I was very good at hiding the true situation from my family. I really didn't have any true friends.  It took a very devastating , life altering event to fully wake me up. Please don't wait for that to happen to you. It may then be too late.
Now my life has changed. I am happy with who I am and where my life has gone. I enjoy bringing a feeling of belonging to others. I feel being an Avon Independent Sales Representative has helped me to achieve a real sense of self worth. I have been given an opportunity to partner with others in our Avon family as a Team Support Leader. It's such a great feeling to be able to make eye contact with someone and know that what they see is me.
