So I re-posted Troy’s post on Facebook about supporting gay marriage. It started a strong debate, which is fine. I welcome a good healthy respectful debate. However a line was crossed with a gay slur and an attack on my character (I feel) it hurt for a second. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t care, it stung. I sat here and thought about myself and the things that I stand for.
The hurt went away and I felt proud.
Never in my life have I been as happy as I am now. In my marriage, in my life and in ME.
In my past I have made mistakes and I have grown from those. I have had dark periods and done things I am NOT proud of. I have forgiven myself. I have learned. I have been able to help others through some of my experiences.
I have my spiritual beliefs and they differ from everyone because I don’t follow a book to a T. I follow my heart. I follow what I believe to be right. I have never felt this spiritually connected in my life. I love it.
I will continue to stand for what I believe is right. People may not like me for it but oh well, their loss. I must say I am a pretty darn cool person.
Thank you for the post that made me realize how much I actually love and respect myself.
As I am accepting my award I want to thank my husband Troy for being the ultimate support. You Sir are one amazing man with an incredible Spirit. I love you.
One more thing when I do stand before my Maker I will stand proud of who I am and what I fight for.
