MESSAGE:
In the words of award-winning songwriter, Holly Steele, “Beautiful Wonder” is
about finding your way, learning to gain the strength you need to acknowledge the abuse in your life and to be strong enough to move on. It’s having that beautiful wonder within to find the natural survival and self protection qualities that we all have inside of us – knowing when enough is enough although it may take so long for many of us to get there – it is there. “Beautiful Wonder” further describes a person who is abused visualizing being strong and no longer allowing the abuse making their abuser wonder who they really are. The abuser will no longer recognize the person he or she has been hurting because they now have the inner strength and self love to defend themselves and will no longer tolerate the abuse.
