My childhood diary - one of the precious things that went into my safety deposit box
Home is more than a physical place. Home is also the freedom from fear. These meanings of home reflect our basic human need for shelter and peace. Here I share the traumatic experiences I had in marriage and how they led me, ultimately, to step over the threshold, never to return. The bare beginnings of a new life began with a few precious things, stored in a little safe deposit box, a place though tiny that I could finally call my own.

I quote here, impressions of this podcast by a dear friend...
"This is a beautiful job of shining a light on your own domestic grief. And you are right to identify the lack of felt safety in one's home as really the core issue. One needs to feel safe to be fully alive. One needs to feel safe to flourish. And the silence that keeps those recurring violations under wraps needs to be combatted with revelations like yours. What I especially like is it is not just a complaint. It is a narrative of mounting clarity, mounting strength. The safety deposit box becomes the safe place in an unsafe world and home.
You move towards not just escape but rebuilding.
It is a story of transformation.
Beauty for ashes."
