HINDSIGHT 20/20 The phrase 20/20 will probably never go back to being merely a reference for perfect

vision. After this last year, I think the whole world would be onboard as saying 2020 is

probably better associated with blurred vision. That was one hell of a year, and maybe it was really triggering for you. Between Vanessa Guillen and COVID-19… I’ve been triggered. I’m a survivor of Military Sexual Trauma and I have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I know that most of you – much like myself- are SO READY for a comeback. Coming back to some semblance of normalcy, to the pre-quarantine weight, to kids being back in school, etc. We all want to come back from – and overcome - something… but how? We are badass women – no ifs ands or buts about it. We have done things most people cannot even imagine; we have seen, experienced, and achieved in ways even Hollywood rarely glimpses onto the screen. The saying, “Hindsight is 20/20,” might be right this time, because it showed a lot of us what really mattered. We’ve embraced the suck, yet the suck isn’t the whole story. I may be a WriteHER for this magazine, but we are ALL WriteHERS of our own story in this life. I want to share 5 R’s I’ve discovered that have helped to refocus my vision, and I hope will help you to rewrite your own stories in 2021.
