I liked your choice of identifying what you did--you adapted--and that last line in your fourth paragraph was the enormous light bulb that went on and made me see/realize/accept/embrace that I was not responsible for my attacker's actions. Mistakes, yes, I made some that evening. But now, I can finally forgive myself... thank you for sharing.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205978512622119000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-5781363592481101502013-02-28T15:31:33.534-08:002013-02-28T15:31:33.534-08:00Thank you very much for this.

I am saddened to learn about all of this but I continue to be struck by your thoughtful clarity and I appreciate your willingness to share such important knowledge. An element of my faith and system of belief is that there must be opposition in all things, otherwise we can't learn and grow. You have clearly learned and grown and you inspire more of the same.Wraymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14441906298412303786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-35030792673478655932013-02-28T13:58:04.532-08:002013-02-28T13:58:04.532-08:00My God.

May God bless you and yours, may He heal your hurts, multiply your joys and grant you every blessing that He can bestow. And from a personal note, please remember to hug, kiss, speak and otherwise convey your love and gratitude to all your family and all who make your life beautiful. Such gifts are beyond measure. jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12850395662800864408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-7926853865517701752013-02-28T06:36:07.289-08:002013-02-28T06:36:07.289-08:00Thank you so much for sharing this.

Would I have said something or even called the police? Would I have said something? Would it have made a difference? <br /><br />TOUGH questions. I don't think anyone knew what was going on. Even those who were sitting close to us and seeing our uncomfortable conversation were probably more relieved to get rid of us than concerned about me. Maybe they thought, "What was that all about?" But the thought of it turning out how it did probably didn't dawn on any of them. Why should it? It's something we don't think of and it's something we don't think we are going to be witness to or have to think about.<br /><br />I would love to see this scenario on the show, "What would you do?"Limahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687819351571987594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-7719534632803353472013-02-27T06:16:02.898-08:002013-02-27T06:16:02.898-08:00Yes.

But I was scared and mistrusting and confused and unsure. It destroyed a lot of what I thought about myself and life and relationships in general. <br />Sharing it was a hard decision to make, even after all of these years. I hope it helps people.Limahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687819351571987594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-6241862840642557892013-02-27T06:10:35.653-08:002013-02-27T06:10:35.653-08:00It's something you should hope you never have ...It's something you should hope you never have to worry about with your children, that's for sure.

It provides an opportunity for reflection for everyone. Would I get up and offer to help if I saw this happening in a restaurant? I would hope so. After reading your story, I will be more aware of such situations. Life is about learning from mistakes and getting better and stronger. I hope that others will also read your testimony and become stronger to both resist such evil people, but also to stand up to them on behalf of others.<br /><br />It is hard to expose your darkest memories, but others can learn from it. By no longer hiding something that was brought on by an evil person, you have shown that you the better person. He has no power over you, now. So, hold your head high and reflect on how beautiful the sky is. It was beautiful before this incident and it is STILL beautiful. We just have to choose to appreciate it and not be consumed by regret. And, I do love a beautiful, blue sky. And, I love your ability to teach others about self-defense and guns. I've never met you, but I feel proud of you. Keep up the good work.Ronny in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812297059685170681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-81652698354219097112013-02-26T13:19:49.228-08:002013-02-26T13:19:49.228-08:00Wow.

Unfortunately, now we have a bunch of armed people who will do nothing. It is sad that things have to happen to you for you to do something about it. Please pass what you have learned to your children so you can stop the cycle. You are a brave woman.<br /> <br />Don't question yourself at all. Do not be embarrassed. What you went through sadly happens every day and it is not your fault. I am not belittling what happened to you....please don't think that. <br /><br />This is close and personal to me. I am so sorry this has happened and continues to happen every day. People dont teach others to read warning signs and how to react properly to situations outside of their comfort zones. We are all a bunch of sheep. This is the best thbing you can do and I would like to thank you fos sharing.<br /> <br />This still happens each and every day. This has made you strong and has taught yout the truth about people.<br /><br />You are still alive because of you and not him. You chose to live and are choosing it now. Get this off your shoulders by sharing it and teach others just as you are doing here.<br /><br />Good job!<br /><br />ToddAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768203275356321141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-42525472261489999032013-02-26T09:54:39.961-08:002013-02-26T09:54:39.961-08:00You are an amazing, strong, courageous woman to ha...You are an amazing, strong, courageous woman to have shared this and I can't thank you enough! Your words will, I have no doubt, help to prevent a similar tragedy somewhere along the line. <br /><br />All honor to you for your courage, this and every day. It may not be the flashy "I just saved someone from a burning building" kind of courage you describe here, it is the far more difficult to sustain and live every day "I was wounded but I was not killed and I won't stop living because of it" courage. It is the incredible "I will bring this monstrous memory out into the light and share it so that others may learn" kind of courage. Thank you for sharing that courage with all of us. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221235654186483557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803667991676302656.post-79313979077568895312012-09-14T13:04:27.158-07:002012-09-14T13:04:27.158-07:00Incredible story, warrior woman as well as conquer...Incredible story, warrior woman as well as conqueror!

It is a great source of information and I appreciate the time you have put into the blog and learning the "art" of guns! My boyfriend is always finding things for me to read or watch on YouTube - but it is usually from a man's perspective, which I appreciate - however, I love hearing a woman's side now and then. I just completed my Conceal Training over the weekend and will be applying for my permit this week. I currently have a S&W M&P 9mm Compact. I love this gun. I have practiced carrying it around the house just to get used to it. I still have not found the right holster for me, though. Trial and Error I guess. If it wasn't such an expensive process, I wouldn't mind so much. I look forward to hearing more about your opinions and experiences!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420901404884030554noreply@blogger.com
