@mepurfield #CycleBreaker ❤️

Cycle breaker means to me:
I’m not going to make a life with money at the center, pretending that money can keep me safe.

I’m doing what I can to eschew violence.

I did not have kids, partly to make sure I did not abuse them.

I don’t use alcohol or other drugs to make sure I don’t get those types of addictions and hurt people with them.

I enjoy studying domestic violence, learning what love is, and creating ways of doing family that are sustainable.

More than survival of myself / my small family is important to me. I’m trying to make a better world in new ways and heal culture.

I resist the military mega-death, resist ableism, resist misogyny, love queer and trans people extra much, care for Parent Earth, work against racism, and learn more ways to speak truth to power.

Consent is sacred to me and central to how I do relationship.

I recognize the importance of community and renounce the idea that being independent is superior. We all interdepend–it’s just a matter of how honest we are about that.

Ancestral healing is some freaky magic I wouldn’t believe except it happened to me.

Yes, I did that ancestral healing a while back. I’d like to do more, but I don’t know if anyone will help facilitate the journey. Ming falls asleep. Feels intimate, and I wouldn’t do it with just anyone.

My #ACES score is 8. My #resiliency score is 9. That 1pt difference was my grandma and that changed my life. ACES aren't destiny and you are not alone. 💖✨
