An Alma Mater dedicated to those who feel silenced no more.

Now We Stand

Now we stand, no longer afraid

Speaking our truths as memories fade

I found some friends along the way

To stand with me, no matter the day

My heart beats strong, my posture is proud

You still see the old me, but I am in the NOW

Your secrets are no longer safe with me

I have spoken, I am free

You are no longer in my mind

For I have healed over time

I lived to tell my story you see

Despite that thing you did to me

Just For Today

Just For Today challenge

Just for today I will pay it forward

Just for today I will relax

Just for today I will do the extraordinary

Just for today I will forgive myself and others

Just for today I will give myself grace

Just for today I will allow myself to receive

Just for today I will allow myself to laugh harder than I have in a long time

Just for today I will listen to hear, not simply to respond

Just for today I will show love

Just for today I will open a door for someone without them asking

Just for today I will shower someone special with love

I only ask you to consider this challenge

Just for today
