Our Goal is NOT Necessarily...

 By: Connie J..., November 4, 2024

...to "win" much of what we fight for (though there ARE DEFINITE win/lose situations); however, our goal should be to progress our passions.

I was told, once, "You're not going to end Domestic Violence." I quickly replied, "Does that mean we don't do what we can, anyway?"

My personal theory is it probably began after Adam and Eve were sent from the Garden of Eden - so what??! It doesn't mean it's right!!! Amiright??!


It's about our mindset. Can we be a positive change in an ever devolving world? Well, I don't know about you; but I will "rage against the machine", until there is no fight left in me.

While, yes, I DO fight for those still enmeshed in the tangles of Domestic Violence; I also fight for that confused little girl, inside, that always knew things weren't right. But since she couldn't see the whole picture, usually ended up on wrong side of the battle. I have forgiven her; but she will always keep her eyes open, and fight where and when she can.

Have you reconciled YOUR goal in battling Domestic Violence? Are you a Victim, still trapped in the snares, feeling there's no way out? Or, did you make it out, and still feel like you're bouncing on the waves of the ocean of the healing process?

There are so many resources available - reach out. It can change your life...

Thank you. Have a good day, and be safe... #ENDtheSILENCEofVIOLENCE #dviseverywhere #domesticviolence #growin2024 #awareness #protectyourself #besafe #perseverance

*October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please share this post, no matter what month it is, to help get the word out. The Victim has to make the choice - but, "What If..." they read something you sent them, and it just "clicks"?

*I would love the opportunity to share YOUR ideas in a Blog post. Please send them to Connie J... - beamererin@yahoo.com; or through Ozer email, ozerministries@att.net.

What Do You NEED??!

By Connie J... • October 27, 2026
For over half of my life, I was a chronic people-pleaser. Still happens, periodically; but my recovery time is getting faster. However, many years, if you would've asked me what I needed, that stare would have been soooooo blank. Ironically, I was still spoiled with what I wanted, by family members, etc. Weird, huh??! But my needs were buried so deep, and were actually so simple. I wanted to be loved for who I was. Not for my accomplishments or abilities - just for my very existence. I now have that. I kind of command it. If you cannot do that, bye-bye. I no longer have to be a performer, or to get any kind of adulation. (Btw, when I Googled the word, adulation, seeing the synonyms and antonyms were a little horrifying to me - but made a lot of things make sense, life defining. Wow!!!) So, again, I ask the question - What do you NEED??! What are YOUR thoughts? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

Perspective...

By Connie J... • October 20, 2026
Tire abandoned on the side of the road. It's still round, it's NOT flat. But, you can't just grab it, and put it on your vehicle. What do you think would happen? It would take, probably, a tire patch, then putting it on the rim, filling it with air. Checking for leaks. Balancing. Maybe this whole process, multiple times. A little bit of work would be required. This is just one metaphor for the healing process. Life is all about perspective...watch for tires... 😉 😉 😉 We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

Speak YOUR Truth...

By Connie J... • October 13, 2026
...even if your voice shakes. Don't let those people that tried to ruin you win. Yes, there ARE those people whose main goal in life is to never see you rise; but there are SO MANY others that want nothing more than for you to THRIVE!!! Be one of THEM. Keep speaking your truth!!! Even if it's awkward, let it be, because truth will ALWAYS rise. Hold your head up high... We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

A Blank Sheet...

By Connie J... • October 6, 2026
...of paper is like a canvas of potential for your life. How would you choose to fill in this space? ________________________________________________________________ What came to your mind? How can you make it happen? What do you plan to keep doing? What will you STOP doing? Is it time for change? October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It is an annual "call to action", for Victims and Support People, alike. I, personally, think/talk Domestic Violence Awareness, all year. I try to "fill my pages", daily. As I always say - "If everyone would do what they could, so many of life's problems could be handled. But, the same small group of people keep trying to handle it all." I challenge you to begin to champion one cause. Learn all you can about it, pledge your support to it. We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

You Don't Get to Choose...

By Connie J... • September 28, 2026
...what happens to you, only how you react. This is the part of life that REALLY feels unfair, sometimes - but it's a universal truth, irregardless. I spent so many years blaming so many people for what happened to me - fact: many DID do me wrong. However, there is a difference between holding people accountable; and THEN moving on with your life, and living it. Many people get stuck in the first part of my previous paragraph - and don't quite get to that all-important second part, which balances your life out. It's like you're sitting on a teeter-totter, with you in the air, and your legs just swinging; while all your anger, bitterness, "Well they shoulda's", etc, are just sitting on the ground, staring up and mocking ya!!! Pretty picture, huh? Isn't it about time for a new visual? It's NEVER too late to change your reaction. Move on with YOUR life - everyone else has to answer for their own, right??! We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.

You Do NOT Rise...

By Connie J... • September 21, 2026
...by stepping on others. I've been working since I was 18, at MANY different types of jobs - from fast food, offices, a pottery, and yes, retail. Even tried to be an Assistant Manager for a couple years (hated it!!!) One thing I've observed, is many different types of bosses. Quite the variety - some that lasted, some that didn't. I've actually been able to figure out, early on, who was going to last - and who wasn't, just by how their people skills were. However, I want to talk to you about this dynamic, "Rising", in your everyday life. How you treat people who can do nothing for you. Now, I'm not talking about being a doormat, either. "Superman" is a fictional character, ok. We're not all put here to "rescue people". (Shout-out to ANY AND ALL types of First Responders!!!) But, we are all able to do something. Now, sometimes the caveat can be, that the recipient felt we could do more. This is where personal accountability and boundaries come in. Like I often say, "If everyone did one thing they were supposed to do, EVERYTHING in the world would be taken care of." What are YOUR thoughts? We would LOVE to hear any insight you might have.
