Better to learn to meditate and quite the mind than say anything negative to yourself ever again! Having good thoughts in your head about yourself and others is free and so is this site.

Special
Left alone, wet diaper staining the floorboards
I cried and cried and cried
until I stopped.
Without love, without hugs, so cold
I turned inward to seek something else:
to make myself special.
Pain shattered my baby mind
into a thousand bits
'We'll make you special,' said the bits.
They took me to the underworld
fed me pomegranate seeds and mead
and danced around me in the dark.
'We're here to keep bad people bad,' said the bits
and they put me on a pedestal
and crowned me Queen of Hell.
I was their flashlight in the gloom
with batteries that never died,
though I wanted to.
I stood on my pedestal
shackled by the throat
my crown bejeweled, so special.
Singing my soft song: 'I bravely go
where only darkness grows,'
song of the bird in the gilded cage.
The bits became magnets
to draw in fear and rape
they split and grew many, grew into an army.
My bird soul battered
against its cage of gold,
its special cage. So special.
'Be free or die,' sang the bird soul
'Die,' said the bits
'Be Free,' said I.
Be Free. And with those words
the child's spell was broken,
the Queen of Hell threw off her shackle.
Her image fell to pieces, jeweled crown shattered
Her light went into my heart
the army of bits stood down.
The little bird flew.
The little bird sang.
Just an ordinary bird.
A bird like all others.
Nothing special.

Love Box
I just got a great email from a survivor I met at the last college I spoke at. Here's what she said:
OH and I took your advice about loving yourself more. I made a shoebox and decorated it, it is now the LOVE box. It sounds silly but every day or multiple times a day I write a little note about something I did that was fun, or something i liked about myself. Just today I wrote down something I said that was witty.
Now that is cool! I love the LOVE BOX! Make one for yourself.

Day of Service Call
http://angelashelton.com/audio/DayofService_011909.mp3
In honor of our new first lady's national call to service - Monday, Jan 19th on Martin Luther King Day, I did a free hour of empowerment to women nationwide that you can now listen to anytime.
Those of you who saw my Vote For Change video during the election campaign know how much I love Michelle Obama. When she calls us to be of service I stand at attention. What I did not see on the list were ways to be of service to women and children issues. You know me - I can't keep my big mouth shut so instead of complaining about it, I got solution oriented! I spoke for about an hour. On the call I continued my mission of inspiring and empowering all survivors to heal and lead joyful lives by sharing ways to be of service in your community by helping women and children.
Listen to the call anytime.
Everything you do affects everything else so do well for yourself and others! This national service call was presented by The Angela Shelton Foundation. http://angelashelton.org/

Healing Sex Gives Survivors the Confidence to Open Up
A great deal of survivors tend to have a difficult time with closeness with another person, finding themselves having to teach themselves boundaries and when any of us run into a little trouble and need help, there are shelves full of psychological insight, self help books, audio books, films and so on at our disposal. Healing Sex is a DVD that at first glance, you would think is just like the rest of the “self help” market, but once you watch it, it has the potential to really change your life and the way you look at intimacy.
Staci Haines has vast experience as a workshop leader and somatic practitioner and presents hands on exercises for you to practice either alone or with your partner for battling a lot of hurdles that survivors deal with when it comes to intimacy, such as disassociating during sex which I, as well as a great deal of survivors I speak with now have had problems with in our adult lives. Haines welcomes you into her workshops and one-on-one sessions and works with people to help them set boundaries in relationships and intimacy and teaches them how to express their desires, likes and dislikes. She gives us so much knowledge and draws upon her extensive experience to present educational and often triggering material in a comfortable and accessible way that will make you actually want to open up to your partner, now that you know how.
This DVD did wonders for me. I absolutely loved the way in which the material was presented and I especially loved that Haines doesn’t think, act or teach with the sense of false hope that she is a miracle worker. Healing from any kind of trauma takes a long time and a great deal of dedicated, hard work and the effects of childhood sexual assault have a tendency to follow survivors throughout their entire lives. This film shows you realistic ways to cope with your past and your present in terms of intimacy and overall relationships.
