Why can’t we just know things? It would be so simple to be born with 100% ability to make perfect decisions: know who to trust, who to love, know how to navigate relationships, be certain of every career move, etc. Just the thought  brings a feeling of perfect bliss. But, that’s not reality. It ain’t gonna happen. […]

SOCIAL MEDIA HIATUS ... I need some time to take care of me. I love the work that I do. I'm proud of what Moments with Missy ™️ has accomplished. I am dedicated to continuing to educate people about #DomesticViolence and #emotionalabuse. I am so grateful that I'm #notavictimanymore. I live with #depression yet I survive. I battle #chronicillness yet God has given me the strength to THRIVE. However, I need to take some time to rest and recharge. I'll be back! 💜 ___ #MomentswithMissy #MsMissySpeaks #happynewyear #2020vision #crystalclear #happy2020 #DomesticViolenceAwareness #notavictimanymore #HealingFromDV #abusesurvivor #disableddiva #lifeafterabuse #gonethroughhell #startingover #emotionalabuseisstillabuse #justwanttobehappy #beyondthepain
🥂HAPPY NEW YEAR🥂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You made it!! Welcome to your future. 2020 is the start of a new decade and I hope it'll be the beginning of something great in your life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I will be taking a Semi Social Media Hiatus. I need time to rest and connect with myself on a deep level. This past decade was INCREDIBLE. I accomplished many goals and realized dreams. I am AMAZED. I fought a lot of battles and WON. I was also greatly wounded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am looking forward to taking some time to pour into me. I will be back. If you need to contact me, feel free to email me at msmissy@momentswithmissy.com. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Until then.. Toodles! 👋🏾 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ___ #MomentswithMissy #MsMissySpeaks #happynewyear #2020vision #crystalclear #happy2020 #DomesticViolenceAwareness #notavictimanymore #HealingFromDV #abusesurvivor #disableddiva #lifeafterabuse #gonethroughhell #startingover #emotionalabuseisstillabuse #justwanttobehappy #beyondthepain
ABUSE CAN TRANSFORM ITSELF. It is super sneaky. It's like a chameleon and can take on any form necessary to camouflage itself to fit in among your circumstances. If you are lonely, it may come to you in the form of a caring, loving partner who refuses to share you with others. If you have low self-esteem, it may come to you in the form of an endless flow of compliments followed by severe negative blows and apologies that make you gullible to receive the worthless compliments that will follow all over again. If you're looking to escape your life and your reality it can come in the form of a person who shows you beautiful, breathtaking opportunities of sheer freedom and happiness, which will one day abruptly stop or only continue on condition. If you need to be needed, abuse may come to you in the form of one in distress, who will look to you for help and guidance, eventually becoming demanding and manipulating, guilting you into giving them everything they want. They will suck every ounce of life and light from you if you allow it. Abuse is sneaky. ___ Abuse is physical, financial, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Abuse has no respect of person. Every day men and women are abused regardless of their status. Abuse is sneaky. Abuse has many disguises. Sometimes it dresses itself up as a strong personality. Sometime it dresses itself up as someone with a firm hand. Sometimes it dresses itself up as the only one who cares about you. Sometimes, abuse looks like a Saviour; but in fact, it's the force that will never let you be saved. Pay attention to your heart and logic. Pay attention to anything that doesn't feel right. ___ #MomentswithMissy #MsMissySpeaks #DomesticViolenceAwareness #notavictimanymore #abuseawareness #enddv #emotionalabuseisstillabuse #churchhurt #relationshipgoals #signsoflove #abusiverelationships #spiritualabuse #HealingFromDV #abusesurvivor #disableddiva
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Today is special to me. This past week has been WONDERFUL! I've spent time with my 2 of my youngest nieces and nephews. We talked. We laughed. We played. We created special projects and they helped my mom bake delicious sweets. ___ I'm also full of reflection about the meaning of Christmas and the holy birth of Jesus Christ. He began as a baby but grew to be a man. He lived a life of LOVE and MERCY. He was kind. He was a healer. Most of all, he taught people about God and how important it is for us to live lives that reflect God and His holiness. ___ I can enjoy Christmas because I have #gonethroughhell and now I'm on the other side. I'm thankful for my relationship with God. I am so grateful for the strength He's giving me to heal and move on from #abusiverelationships. I spent many holidays in a #toxicrelationship. I know what it's like to experience the holidays excited but on egg shells. I know what it's like to ride an #emotionalrollercoaster. I'm so thankful that God gave me the strength to fight and live a life of love and hope. I'm still on my journey of hope and healing but God is writing a beautiful new chapter to my life. I'm excited. 😁 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 💜Missy
My heart aches for you. You are not forgotten. There are so many people hurting during this season of supposed joy. Loss of loved ones, separations, and divorce are prevalent. There are those who are single but want to be married. There are those who are married but long to be single again. Then there are many who are in #abusiverelationships filled with manipulation, possessiveness, isolation, guilt trips, emotional roller coasters, drama and confusion. ___ You may not be happy today but I believe that you can (and will) survive to see a better day. I pray that this season brings you moments of clarity and peace. I pray that you would reflect on your present and your past so that you design and create a healthy future. Life is unpredictable and pain is real. However, you are more than your pain and you are more in control of your life than you believe. If I can be of help, please reach out. 💜Missy
INNER PEACE IS EVERYTHING I was once an extremely troubled young woman. But God! I am honored to know the peace of God that passes all understanding (Philippians4:7). I love knowing that God has my back even when I feel afraid and am unsure. I am falling more and more in love with God as the years pass. He is my best friend. I'm alive because of God. I am constantly growing and becoming more at peace because of God. I'm grateful. ___ #MomentswithMissy #MsMissySpeaks #DomesticViolenceAwareness #notavictimanymore #HealingFromDV #abusesurvivor #disableddiva #thankyoujesus #imatpeace #soinlovewithme #lifeafterabuse #finallylovingme #gonethroughhelll #thepastisover #wannabehappyagain #justwanttobehappy #startingover #beyondthepain
