| Welcome To Orphaned Children Now Adults "Each One Reach One" "Each One Teach One" A support network of men and women who were abused, neglected, and or orphaned as children, and are willing to work together through these traumas to being better stable adults. Here is the message you wanted "On Being Orphaned, Abused and Neglected". Hope it helps.... In love and light, Ellen --- For those who suffer and have ever asked themselves the question, "Why me? Why have I been hurt, abused, neglected, abandoned ?", the answer is simply this. "Your wounds will become your gifts and the greater your wounds, the larger your gifts." This might seem at best odd and at worst unbelievable That all these wounds were inflicted not by mistake but as part of a greater Divine Plan. That suffering could lead one past their pain and ultimately to greater joy. That from the ashes of the past one could rise like a phoenix and become stronger and better with a brighter future than ever before. And yet that is precisely what happens. Take those who are orphaned. The loss of the strength, comfort, guidance, and love that a parent provides is truly devastating and stays with one their entire lives. I know - for in a past life, I was once an orphan. Yet, in that life, I learned to become my own parent, to love myself unconditionally, to embrace who I had been completely So much so that nothing can shake my inner foundation now. Those orphaned that have learned to love and parent themselves know this to be true. Take those who are hurt or abused. The blows they take from others beat them down until they retreat deep within themselves. I know - for in a past life, I was a deformed, hunch-backed cripple. People jeered at me and threw stones and garbage on me as I passed by. Yet, in that life, I learned to be like the piece of coal that, when pressured, becomes as hard, strong, and clear as a diamond. Those hurt and abused who have developed diamond-like inner strength know this to be true. Take those who are neglected or abandoned. The despair and aloneness they feel make it seem like it is always darkest night even when the sun is shining brightly. I know - for in a past life, I was left to rot alone for years in a prison cell, even the jailers who fed me were forbidden to speak to me. Yet, in that life, I learned to reach deep inside my own mind and heart to discover their hidden wonders. Those neglected and abandoned who have made the journey of self-discovery know this to be true. To learn to love yourself, to honor yourself, to embrace your own uniqueness are the greatest gifts that you can receive for they are the only gifts that last. And the only ones you can take with you as you journey through the universe and find your own way to God. |

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won' t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifested the glory of God that is within us. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Nelson Mandela |
