I grew up in the township of Ntuzuma, in the city of Durban, in South Africa, with my mother and two younger sisters. I had a happy childhood, playing soccer and cricket with my friends in the yard, eating sugar cane. But most of all, my mother was my life. Both of my sisters knew […]
If telling my story and experiences to everyone I know and the rest of the world means that I am able to help at least one woman or young lady, then it is definitely worth every word I type, even though it’s hard to write. I was raped, stalked and sexually harassed by more than […]
Let’s go back to the 1970’s. A young, newly married couple from Buenos Aires dreamed of starting a family. But instead, they suffered several failed attempts to get pregnant. Their desire increased as the months and years passed. Treatments, prayers, . . . nothing seemed to work, until they decided to start the adoption process. They […]
I am a person like anyone else. I am a lawyer, a National Public Accountant and an adult education teacher in a humble neighborhood of Buenos Aires, but I have a different story.

These exceptions […]
Sometimes I feel like I am the person who fell between the cracks — the lost and forgotten. I struggle in silence. I’m sharing my story here because I want to raise awareness regarding spousal rape and how serious it is. Laws have been passed here in Florida and elsewhere to terminate the parental rights […]
I don’t have it all together. Often I am asked how I have it all together. What still gets under my skin are comments such as, “Wow! You are so strong!” Or, “Your life is so perfect now!” These statements still get to me. If only we could all see behind the layers of another […]
This is an urgent prayer request, published with permission from Travon Clifton, and as you read it, you will see that what Travon has to say is quite profound. I hope it will move you to prayer, as it did me. — Rebecca Kiessling I’m reaching out to inform some and update others on my […]
“Your life should be an exception, you shouldn’t be born.” Sounds harsh, right? Can you imagine going up to another human being and telling them they don’t have the right to live?
