Welcome

Welcome To Melisa's Testimony

So as you can imagine, I am Melisa and I will be sharing my testimony among other things. Over the years, everyone around me has told me how I should be "telling my story" or writing a book or some way tell different stories of my life through some media or another. This seems as good of a way as any and cuts away some of the red tape so here goes nothing right!

I don't have just one big story either... My entire life has been so insane, if I can't share it to help others, then I went through an awful lot of sheer hell for basically nothing. That's no good and if only I grow, learn and benefit from all this, then I would be more selfish than I thought myself. 

I've spent most of my life trying to dull down the details because when I would be talking with people about whatever was going on in my life, it always felt as if they thought I was adding things to spice it up but I was doing much the opposite! I didn't want pity or things like that. I am not a charity case in spite of how pitiful my life might have seemed during certain times. Nor am I some kind of drama queen seeking all the attention I blame others for me not getting. I am a realist, I would rather someone know the truth and have whatever opinion they will have than have ANY opinion of me for false information. I am VERY big on truth, ask my kids, exes or my current boyfriend- without truth, communicating is not just pointless, but wasting my time as you have to spend double time over lies correcting whatever they messed up and trying to make things the way they should've been. 

As I begin this journey, I am 36 years old- I am mother to 3 beautiful girls/young women, I am with a wonderful man who is no more perfect than I am or you or anyone and as I sit here, its weird to think about the fact that its been 10 years already that I'm alive on borrowed time in a way. 

So, you ready??
