I believe in miracles. I believe in happy endings. I believe in dreams coming true. Today is the 21st anniversary of being rescued. My life is far from perfect but I’m so happy and grateful for the life I have today. When I was kidnapped I thought I’d never finish school, go to college, fall in love, get married, or have a family. I thought every dream I had for myself was stolen. For me today is a celebration of all the happy moments of my life, and a reminder to never give up. I know each of us has a story and we all have our dark days in life but I hope whoever reads this finds themselves believing in miracles, dreams coming true, and hope for a better future.

I don’t remember who I heard say it or where I read it but it has stuck with me always. “There are 3 types of angels, those who came before, those who come after, and those who walk along side us.” As each of my children have been born I have strongly felt that they were angels straight from heaven. I will never stop loving them with all my heart and being grateful to be their mother. 🤍

Always love spending time with family! Happy Easter everyone!🐰🩷
After I was rescued from being kidnapped I didn’t want to speak about what happened with anyone, I wanted to hide those nine months away, and pretend they didn’t happen. Even though my head knew none of it was my fault my heart still felt embarrassment and shame over the vast amounts of sexual abuse I experienced. At the time I didn’t know anyone else who openly shared they had been raped or violated, and no one took the time to explain to me that there is a difference between sexual abuse/rape versus enthusiastic consenting intimacy. Since then I experienced more life, fell in love, got married, had a family, and learned that rape and true intimacy couldn’t be more different. This partnership with @mentionables is so important to me on a personal level, because I don’t want any other person to go through being raped and assaulted thinking it is the same as consenting intimacy. When engaging in physical intimacy I want people everywhere to realize the day and night difference, to feel safe, empowered, beautiful, sexy, and excited to engage with their partner instead of fear, lack of control, pain, danger, betrayal, or self loathing. Being able to enjoy every aspect of consenting relationships should be a basic human right. Being able to enhance romantic and passionate situations should be encouraged and embraced, and for me that means beautiful and sexy lingerie. Mentionables aligns perfectly with my thoughts and feelings around intimacy and they will be generously donating 20% of sales from the teal collection to @elizabethsmartfoundation where everything we do is to help prevent what happened to me from happening to anyone else, as well as trying to educate and promote more compassion within communities on how to respond to survivors sharing their stories.

It has been an honor to be trusted enough to help Tanya Kach share her story. It will be airing on June 8th on @lifetimetv at 8pm EST. Sharing stories is important because it helps us learn, grow compassion, and reexamine ourselves and how we pass judgement on those around us. Do we really know another person’s circumstances well enough to say “they should have done …” or “I would never do ……” Tanya’s story is one of those stories that helps teach us about the vulnerability of children, grooming, the grit to survive, and the force of will it takes to reclaim one’s life.

Spent a beautiful day on the mountain with my favorite ski buddies!🩵
Our expressions of love have come a long way with our means of communication. Sending love letters via mail is a classic, but it wasn’t always simple. In the US, it took until 1775 to have a United Postal service, making it easier to send romantic notes to distant lovers. Then came the telephone, letting lovebirds stay up late, arguing over who’d hang up first. Ah, young love!
People have always used communication tech to share their feelings, from telegrams to texts, carrier pigeons to calls. And let’s face it—our teens are doing the same through texts, apps, calls, and photos.
It’s time to get real. It’s time to equip our teens with the understanding, skills, and judgment for respectful communication—online or off. Let’s future-proof their conversations. Grab my free Safe Sexting guide today and empower our teens for responsible communication!

When I went through the twenty five things I wanted Elizabeth Smart to talk about on our live interview today, she had another idea!
Of course it was even better and exactly what so many of us need to hear today!
Are you taking time to be happy?
What are you prioritizing?
Celebrating happy moments.
What does happiness and joy feel like?
And so many more incredible thoughts and insights. I also loved her takeaways for those of us that have a little extra time, energy, resources, or talents that want to help in our communities.
Thank you so much @elizabeth_smart_official
You are the very best ♥️
