About Me

 My name is Marilynn Bell, M.S. I am now retired, and married to a wonderful man.

It wasn't always that way.

I began my career as a teacher in an inner city high school.

I quickly realized that these students required more than just academic knowledge to succeed. 

This motivated me to pursue a Master’s Degree that focused on enhancing personal growth in adolescents and young adults.

As a result, I developed a series of lesson plans that centered around self improvement. The results were amazing.

My career path shifted when I became a fundraiser for the Diocese of Corpus Christi. I coordinated the community resources for seventy churches.

After moving out of state, I worked as an employment counselor for Snelling & Snelling Employment Agency. 

While there, I initiated a self help program that helped women make good career choices.

When I decided to start my own business, I achieved the rank of director in PrePaid Legal. 

I became successful by encouraging other women to create a home based business.

Most people don’t know that I struggled with domestic abuse for many years. 

Now, I am dedicated to helping other women experience the joy of living a fear free life.

Isn't that what we all want?

This blog provides useful information for women who are living with or who have previously experienced domestic abuse.

The homepage has a list of helpful resources, including a report "How To Leave Safely."

 Each blog post offers thought provoking questions that can help you gain a better understanding of your situation.  

You can get to the blog by clicking on "blog" in the upper left corner.

Note that there is a "Safety Exit" in the upper right corner of the page.

There are two Categories that provide useful information  for women who have  experienced abuse.

I know from my own experience that recovering from the trauma of domestic abuse is not an easy journey.

 That's why I created this website and blog.

 Answering the questions  at the end of each post will help you develop healing thought patterns.

You will  also learn to reprogram negative self talk.

Additionally, you will gain insights about why you may have made some bad choices in the past. 

I will add a new post every Saturday at noon Eastern Time.

Until we connect again, think  positive thoughts and dream of a better, happier life.
