Living Life Intentionally
My name is Eunice Tate, and I am a writer and inspirational speaker. My objective for this blog is first and foremost to provide a place of healing. My goals are to (1) Break the cultural silence around abuse of any kind: physical, sexual, verbal. (2) Inspire you to empower yourself and discover your full potential. (3) Motivate you to create within yourself a new spirit of love, peace and joy. Healing and spiritual growth have been a constant theme in my writings and books. I believe firmly that the ability to forgive and release the past is fundamental to healing. Our understanding and acceptance of this basic principle we must not forget.
Much love, many blessings,
Eunice

Anonymous – I am a single person thats not much of a out going person. I find it hard to meet people of the opposite sex and those that I do meet want material or financial gains. How do I find someone to love me so that I can cherish them and receive the same in return.
Dear Anonymous
I understand where you are coming from. Now, here’s the thing…we all need that person who loves us and eventually gets to know us as well as we know ourselves. I don’t know your religious beliefs but as a christian, stand still and know that God has your best interests at heart. He has only good things for you and one of them is “:the perfect mate”. The other thing is you don’t have to be an outgoing person. Just continue doing what you do on a daily basis, he can show up anywhere….you don’t find someone, HE will send someone.
Your story is not new. Many men share your sentiments, but often they are judging other women by the baggage of past relationships. The truth is, there are many Godly, positive, and successful women out there doing their thing and doing it well. These women are not desperate for a husband; they are not looking for material things, they simply would like to have someone who shares their moral values to enjoy a loving relationship with.
Also, men are not the only ones who have been taken advantage of. Think about the millions of women who are forced to raise children alone, because of men who were looking to them for, as you put it, material or financial gains. Honestly, I think most women would be happy with a God-fearing man with good work ethics. My advice to you is, trust God for the right person for YOU. He will give you the desires of your heart.
Have yourself a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for those words of wisdom. This person may already be in my life and I would foolish to let my past baggage get in the way of persueing them. I was told today by them that they were in a weird mood today and feeling lonely this time of the year. I will let them know that I am here for them alway and that they can count on me when ever they need me!
I love it , my cuz you are good
The angle in which you have decided to convey thoughts and concepts on the tragic reality of abuse is neat.
You write with an unflagging zeal. I enjoyed it.

Your encouraging words are motivating. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond. Your promptness is very rare and refreshing.
Life is not only about having fun or getting through the day unchallenged. We must take the challenge that the Lord wants us to which is practicing and spreading his word on to others so that we can receive his blessing. My joy is feeling GOD’s love daily.
Well said! Continue to grow on your spiritual journey. Many blessings, my brother.
Hi Eunice, I love this! One of my goals is to break the cultural silence about verbal and emotional abuse.
