Just weeks away from receiving her Master’s degree in counseling, 42 year old Christy Sims was viciously assaulted by her boyfriend with industrial sulfuric acid. Christy spent two months in a coma, underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries and today she lives to tell her story of overcoming!

Christy now sits on the board of directors for the Christy Sims Foundation, created to serve domestic violence victims by ‘educating the community, increasing awareness and raising funds to support victims of domestic violence.” Come join us as we hear more about Christy’s story, how she’s overcome great trials and how God is using her story to shed light on domestic violence around the world.

hey there I’m Priscilla Shire thank you

so much for joining us today on the chat

it is a treat to be here with you I

don’t know if you’ve ever had this

happened to you like it happened to me

that I was watching a television program

or maybe you heard a radio interview or

you just saw somebody from afar whose

story was so moving that mattered so

much whose story was so gripping maybe

by what you the traces of it the scars

of it that you saw on them it really

impacted you in a way that stayed with

you long after that interview was over

or long after that conversation was over

it just kind of hung with you in your

heart and in your mind that happened to

me and it happened fairly recently and

right away I started putting as many

things in motion as I could to be able

to sit down with this guest myself

because I wanted to meet her her story

is one of absolute tragedy but one

really that has a lot of beauty that

rises out of these ashes you’re going to

want to stay tuned today because you’re

going to want to meet Christie Sims I’m

going to let you hear her story I’m

gonna let you see some photos and I’m

going to let you hear a 9-1-1 call that

really sets in motion a course of events

that is going to stick with you for a

long time stay tuned

hey there i’m priscilla shirer welcome

to the chat with Priscilla listen you

need to know that this is part 2 of a

conversation that we have already been

having with somebody that is very

quickly becoming one of my favorite

people ever on the planet so if you have

not you know heard all of the the

incredible conversation that we’ve

already had in part one then you’re

going to want to make sure and view that

as well it kind of helps to set the

foundation for what we’re going to be

talking about today I’ve been

introducing to you an incredible woman

whose story is impacting literally

millions of people who are hearing her

story their lives are being changed in a

number of different ways I believe lives

are being saved really as she’s been

vulnerable and honest and brave so would

you please help me welcome back to our

show today miss Christy sin

what we’ve heard the details of your

story in part one of the conversation

but for those who might just be tuning

in for the very first time tell us what

happened to you I was attacked with

severac acid on April 28th of 2013 by my

ex-boyfriend because he he believed that

I was leaving the relationship and I

guess he said to himself if she’s not

gonna be with me she’s not gonna be with

anyone so she his goal I guess was to

destroy my face so and in a sense he

accomplished that goal because you now

look differently you have to live your

life differently so much of where women

find their femininity you know we don’t

realize sometimes that we’re counting on

our femininity to come from our hair

until we lose it maybe through

chemotherapy or different body parts

that to us are what carry our womanhood

and a lot of that you lost through this

attack so how do you sit here with so

much confidence esteem grace elegance

dignity how do you find that again when

you look in the mirror and don’t and

don’t see what you always thought you

would it’s been hard because I didn’t

just wake up from that coma burned I

woke up and they had cut all of my hair

off too I was completely if you can

imagine waking up burn and bald lost all

of my femininity all of it I didn’t look

like a woman I didn’t look like a woman

and I just started looking like a woman

like my face literally is like God is

healing me slowly I don’t have that

original face but I’m starting to get my

cheekbones back I didn’t have cheekbones

a year ago I used to have these really

deep dimples and now there’s one little

dimples coming back I don’t know where

it came from but it’s coming back I’m

slowly starting to feel a little bit and

started to look in the mirror and see a

little bit of the woman that I was

before even if it’s just not just my

eyeballs you know I’m always looking for

remnants of who I used to be and people

have a tendency to say well Krista

you’re still beautiful you’re still

beautiful and I appreciate it

I am very well what beauty is and what

Beauty means and I and I believe that I

am the definition of beauty on the

inside but I was a pretty woman and I

didn’t have any scars on my face and I

didn’t have any scars on my body and so

I’m learning to walk into this walk in

this new existence this is new for me

it’s only been 2 years people look at me

and they look at all the things that I

do I speak all over the country I’m on

these talk shows and they forget that

this just happened to me two years ago

and I lived one way for 42 years

42 years I looked one way it’s like

you’re walking around in a different

body it’s a totally different body yeah

and it is unreal it’s hard to explain to

people what this is like that this is

not just about somebody taking my beauty

he took my identity when someone says

priscilla shirer

your face comes to their mind your face

it is our main identifier i named in our

face that’s how you identify with the

person right well how do you identify

with me now because my face has changed

every day for two years almost every day

my face changes I can without that

people relate to you completely

differently because your face has

changed I tell you what has happened

over the course of two years before see

the qualities that I have now I’ve

always had those qualities I would not

have survived this if I didn’t have

character integrity grace strength curve

because the asset can’t touch all that

oh yeah you can’t burn what I got you

can’t burn it

you cannot burn what I have on the

inside I mean the main thing I have on

the inside of me is the glory of God you

can’t touch it he didn’t even touch the

surface of of who I truly am the essence

of truth who I truly am he didn’t touch

it and that’s why I’m still walking

around with a smile on my face that’s

why I still have gratefulness that’s why

I don’t hate him I don’t hate this guy

haven’t forgiven him quite yet I’m

working on it but I don’t hate him um

have you talked to him since this

happened no no he of course apologized

for all the world to see on camera at

the trial at the sentencing but what was

his sentence 20 years 20 years you feel

like he got justice no I don’t think you

can ever get justice for changing every

aspect of a person’s life so he touched

every corner of my life

he took my beauty well my outer

appearance because I still have my

beauty he took my job I was a

professional counselor

I can’t counsel when you disfigured face

to face it just doesn’t happen I’m

hoping to go back to that one day I’m

getting better but he took my few

counseling all of us we got a whole lot

of people counseling right now so I’m

praying that I’ll be in even better

counselor than I was before but if you

can imagine he affected my money I lost

my job I lost my career I lost my money

he has traumatized my children they knew

a mother for 10 and 13 years and then

one day they see me and I look like a

totally different person that is

traumatizing for a child how do you ever

justify that so to answer your question

I’m glad that I got some justice but I

don’t know what would ever make up for

this and so I don’t spend a lot of time

even thinking about it I just know for

20 years I got to deal with him for 20

years he can go you know yeah so you

don’t dwell on him you don’t dwell on

the past you’re looking forward no I try

my best and it’s like you said before I

having to it took a long time to get to

this point but once I realized see that

first year because I have such a prayer

mother she said God is gonna restore you

he’s going to restore he’s going to

restore you and the Holy Spirit said no

I’m not going to restore you I’m gonna

renew you and so once I accepted the

fact that you don’t get to be that

Christie ever again so now what do you

do mm-hmm

do someone that has been through all of

us even if it has not been this type of

a tragedy the hiccups that all of us go

through in life because is life we live

in a world where evil is present sin is

present our own flesh is present do you

think that one of the one of the ways we

we move forward and move on and don’t

get steeped in bitterness or resentment

or anger is that we stop looking for

restoration and start looking for

renewal what the new thing is God wants

to do as a result of what has happened

in our life it is the only way that I’ve

been able to move forward and I stopped

asking the question why me Lord why me

and I started asking why not me why not

me there were two year olds and they’re

burning it with me and some of them died

I lived why then why anybody why does

anybody suffer this is just my story

somebody suffering from cancer right now

somebody’s the agony over something else

right now this is just my story so once

you stop asking the question why me and

stop saying and start saying why not why

not me and God what do you want me to do

with this what do you want me to do with

these scars so this is what we’re

working with now you know what I mean

this is what I’m working with I can’t do

anything about it

and that goes for whatever scars

somebody has what in wine or in Dixie’s

emotion what do you want me to do yeah

and I think what he wants me to do is to

let the world know that we are not

defined by our circumstances I am NOT a

victim of domestic violence I am a

survivor of domestic violence I lived I

lived and you lived to remind women a

number of things but one of them is that

you are not defined by what you look

like

exactly and it’s huge that is a huge for

women

if it’s this story is it encompasses so

many different things it’s not just

about domestic violence domestic

violence is just a hot topic that’s a

global issue right now and everybody’s

talking about it finally it needs to

buzz phrase the dialogue needs to be

there and it’s in and I’m just this

vessel but within this story is

spirituality miracles overcoming never

giving up fighting fighting fighting or

write a book I wrote a book you got I

just got to pray about when I want to

release it I wrote our epic now is the

kill time I kept a journal I guess oh

good girl

don’t y’all think it’s a good time

procrastinator but you kept a journal

for the past few years I wrote every day

for two years straight I accidentally

wrote a book and discovered there’s

another thing no seriously I’m a really

good writer yeah

so you discovered that but your point is

you discovered that over two years

I’m just being diligent cuz I didn’t

just journal privately I have I keep a

blog and I write on Facebook and I’ve

been literally counseling and

ministering to people on Facebook and I

know because they inbox me and say girl

I never told anybody it is but I was I

was in that too and you know what you

gave me permission to let me know that

it’s not it wasn’t me that was somebody

else’s dysfunction that wasn’t me you

gave me permission because another

intelligent woman another woman who

cares herself well who’s attractive and

it happened to you so it must not be

something wrong with me yeah you know so

I’m giving people permission and you

know it’s very interesting that you say

that that it must not be something that

they thought it was something wrong with

them that brought the problems with

money exactly and that’s interesting you

say that because people do look at you

you are not the stereotype if there is

one that we have in our mind of a woman

that would be in this kind of position

you are educated you’re ambitious you’re

stable it’s not like you were in a

position of poverty where you needed a

man to take care of you and pull you out

of some certain scenario you were doing

alright and so so what do you think that

there is a stereotype a profile of a

woman who might be find herself in an

abusive situation or do you think we

need to clear all those stereotypes out

of our mind because it just looks like

it looks depending it affects every

woman from every walk of life there is a

there is a mirror

there is some where being abused right

now it happens to a woman every 15

seconds and it’s not just a particular

culture or social economic background or

anything and it happens to me and one in

seven minute you’re saying seven men

because you helped yes because you have

same-sex relationships and you also have

women who abused me and people think I’m

crazy when I tell them that one in seven

men are abused one in four women and

those numbers are conservative you know

why because men don’t report abuse right

they don’t report it what I would like

for people to as a society would be

great if we stopped placing all the

blame and judgment on the victims and

stop asking the question well why does

she stay why does she stay why does she

stay you would really have to study the

cycle of abuse to understand why people

stay and even look at my situation which

is not the classic story of domestic

violence I thought I had control of this

situation you know I know he’s a little

controlling a little possessive you know

but you still felt like I got a help I

got a handle well Nancy want to leave

you know he’s no yeah it escalated and

changed my life forever yeah and it does

doesn’t it challenges your life and that

is the reason why I don’t focus on just

helping victims or survivors I’m like no

how do we stop this from happening

period yeah

prevention how do we stop this from

happening period well we’re going to

talk about that because Christie has a

foundation now she is looking forward

she’s looking to help others as best she

can and so we bet be back in just a

second to talk more about that thank you

if you’re feeling discouraged and

defeated if you’re a bit overwhelmed or

maybe even feeling undone if you’re

wondering whether or not your future has

any hope of victory then listen this

Bible study is for you

strongholds are torn down while the Word

of God fortresses are dismantled by the

Word of God when you place faith in

Jesus Christ the righteousness of Christ

is credited to your spiritual bank

account that you are the righteousness

of God in Christ Jesus I invite you to

join me for a lesson in putting on the

whole armor of God our lives are going

to be paying yours and mine because

we’re going to learn and we’ve got the

victory in Jesus name Jesse James has

been with us being so vulnerable and

open and brave and honest sharing with

us so much of her life we’re so grateful

to you for being willing to do that and

sit with us today I want to talk to you

about your future I want to talk to you

about the foundation about what your

hopes are looking forward but before we

get to that I want to talk more about

this this all the stuff in you that the

acid did not touch I want to talk about

where it came from how you got it and

for a woman that’s thinking tragedy has

happened to me in some area of my life

I’ve lost something that to me made me

beautiful

how does she tap into all of these

characteristics and traits that are

going to keep her strong and steady and

balanced like you are stable despite the

chaos that has happened in your life how

do you find beauty somewhere else when

what you thought it was in is gone how’d

you do that like practical ways you were

able to implement this in your life when

you were forced inside inside of

yourself when you are forced to be

introspective when you are forced to be

in prayer and isolation the way that I

was forced into it I couldn’t go outside

in public

for a whole year when you are forced to

lean solely and utterly on God because

you can’t even see what’s going to

happen the next day and you’re operating

on nothing but faith you spent a lot of

time on the inside and so he took my

outside and in him taking my outside

think about it I could add a neat makeup

they took my hair I didn’t have hair so

I didn’t need hot curlers I couldn’t go

anywhere so I didn’t need my high-heeled

shoes that I loved so much so when you

were forced and somebody has taken all

of your exterior all of those things on

the outside you have no choice but to

hone in on those things on the inside

and so it’s almost like I just been a

bit I always had those things but also

also had this beauty too and so there

was a balance but but I lost all of that

outside stuff and so now everything that

I am right now is focusing on its inside

and what it’s doing and what people tell

me is that stuff on the inside he was

making you more beautiful on the outside

because it’s shining through that’s true

it’s shining through and I think the

problem though is the problem is when

all the outside stuff is taken away and

you look inward and find out there is

nothing of value there exact that you

have stored up there’s no character

there’s nothing to keep you stable at

your core right so if you haven’t spent

you obviously

maybe it’s your mama we had the way she

raised you or its disciplines that you

already had a place in your life that

that made you the woman that you are

regardless see you had something to turn

inward to I do what about the woman who

who doesn’t and she’s just discovering

that yeah that you don’t want to figure

yourself out during this process see the

beauty of it is as I was preparing to

become a counselor I went through

counseling and I went through a whole

self-awareness about a five-year

self-awareness thing that’s how I was

able to see this guy more clearly so you

know you can’t see anybody else clearly

until you know who you are and so as I

became more aware of me even while I was

in that relationship like I discovered

over the course of time that you know I

didn’t grow with my father in my like

that throughout my relationships I was

looking for my father in my

relationships and so I was attracting

controlling man because I was looking

for my daddy

my daddy who was always there but not in

the house with me and so I didn’t feel

that safety that you’re supposed to feel

as a little girl and so I subconsciously

looked for it in men and once I was able

to figure that out you know I was able

to discover why I make choices why I do

this why I do that and then that what

that’s why I was part of the reason why

I was like you know what this is not for

me I was discovering who I was and it

made me see other things around me more

clearly and so when this happened by

God’s grace and mercy I had already done

the stuff work I’d already worked on the

inside of me you know now nothing can

prepare you for this because there’s no

manual for somebody taking your entire

outer appearance but I truly believe

that if I had not done all that self

work if I had not discovered that you

know I am a good I’m a good person and

you know I am smart you know I went back

to graduate school at 40 years old I’m

the only one in my family that’s ever

done that

you know I don’t come from a family of

educated people higher educated people

and I did it while working and raising

kids

you know and so I discovered that no

matter what I look like through this

process I’m okay I’m going to be okay

yeah and you are Emma where do you find

that this attention to your core to who

you really are your values your morals

your character the strength of things

that you discovered and and went on

discovery to really hone and refine in

your life do you think that doing that

as a woman or man that doing that is

what helps you to steer clear of

situations like this to begin with yes

yes I think that ultimately let me put

it this way I will say this the things

that made me stay in this relationship

longer than I should have with things

that made me a good counselor

I am objective and non-judgmental I was

trained to be that way to counsel other

people to not judge them but there’s

some people unlike we need to be judging

really really harshly you know I’m

saying even if you’re not judging you

can you cannot pass judgment but still

make a wise choice for yourself yeah but

you know

ultimately I you know I’ve been asked a

question well what is your part in is

what do you feel guilty about I don’t

have any guilt

what I feel is responsibility I don’t

have any guilt because I feel like I’ve

been through enough why would I put that

on myself I know I mean I’ve been

through and I don’t you think I’ve been

through enough yeah somebody got time

I’m not gonna let anybody make me feel

bad about me not even me but I cannot

move forward and hope to be in another

healthy relationship until I deal with

how I was in this situation and a

healthy relationship with your daughter

yes with your son with your mother not

just healthy you know remotion aliy

attached loving relationship just with

those people in your family right and so

what I have what I own this is what I

believe in owning your stuff this is his

stuff what he did to me that’s his stuff

I didn’t do anything to cause this but

what I own is I know I ignored the Holy

Spirit Holy Spirit told me he’s not the

one for you it yelled at me yelled at me

get away from this man he’s not the one

for you okay when at what point in your

relationship

in hindsight do you now know looking

back that should have been the time that

you walked away how early on was it well

you know you get several warnings before

destruction and I got about six months

before this happened

see I know I can see the warning signs

clearly about six months before this

happened this guy pushed me didn’t hit

me but push me and took my keys and kept

me from leaving that told me leaving him

is a problem you see what I’m saying he

wouldn’t let me leave I’ve had to stay

there with him the whole night I broke

up with him for a long time we ended up

getting back together I should not have

gotten back with him if I had not gotten

back with him that was the time right

why did you get back with him what what

in you caused you to look over what had

happened and go ahead and say I can I

can be connected to you again because I

looked at all of the other things that

he did like he you know the same guy

that showed that aggression is also the

same guy that

you know show me a lot of love also

unhealthy love because in retrospect it

really not Losey control looks a lot

like love sometimes it really does talk

about that right there for just a minute

wait one of the similarities when you

have a heart like mine when you are see

I look for love I look for people to

love I look for people to nurture it’s

just my Who I am you know I want to fix

you it make you okay you know you can’t

fix somebody else but when you’re

looking for love and the person is doing

stuff like calling you a million times a

day it feels a little bit like love it’s

really stalking it’s a tension right

it’s really stalking right you know to

me because it’s a tension and think

about a women complain all the time

about what men don’t do my man doesn’t

do this my man doesn’t do that he did

all of those things massages and flowers

and anything he could because he figured

out how to love he figured out mmm this

is what she needs I push these guys push

those buttons no because he decided you

think about it this is a pretty woman

she has a good job you know she carries

herself well she dresses well you know

she can have another man um because he

didn’t feel I guess good about himself

he saw in me things that he wanted and

once he made that decision he did what

he needed to do but it had nothing to do

with love what did your mom think about

him she didn’t like him nobody in my

family liked this guy do you think

number one is I okay number one sign it

there’s a problem kids didn’t like I’m

brother than like him now they didn’t

tell me my mother and my brother didn’t

tell me too after this man threw hats

remember we never liked a minute where

I’m like great thanks for telling me now

you know I’m down and out so your

foundation it the goal is to annihilate

this issue of domestic abuse how are you

going about doing that what do you hope

and purpose to do through your

foundation let me tell you this because

people think it’s impossible do you know

that domestic violence is one of the few

societal ills that can be eradicated it

can be you know why because it’s based

on human behavior

and behavior can be changed through

education awareness and prevention and

what I’ve decided to do we spend a lot

of time a lot of domestic violence

organizations I’m going to do both I’m

going to have a Resource Center for

women who’ve gone through it and help

them you know rebuild their lives and

you know financially all those types of

things grants and stuff but what I

figured out is I went from 0 to 100 and

it changed my life forever so do I

really want to wait until somebody’s in

the situation to help them I do I want

to stop it from happening to begin with

and the only way to do that is to go way

back the highest rate of domestic

violence happens between the ages of 16

and 24 so what I’ve decided to do with

my foundation and what I’ve been doing

for the past two years as I go around at

colleges I’ve been at probably 10

colleges this month I go to high schools

and I basically tell my story I show

that it’s your full-time job is this

what you do right now with your life is

you’re in these high schools you’re in

these colleges this is your mission

right now it is yes right now it is

especially during domestic violence mom

I work non-stop during the message

violence mom but what I’m trying to do

is I’m trying to say you know what it

can happen to anybody

it can happen to anybody are you are you

having young ladies walk up to you

afterwards oh yeah

I have 11 schools counseling sessions

after my talks they always turn into

counseling sessions the beautiful thing

is I’m a professional counselor Yeah

right but you have you know young girls

in high school that are coming to tell

you about my beauty and intuition about

little boys and insulting meet how they

pull on them and they’re grabbing them

and they’re going through their phones

all those things that I was experiencing

in my 40s you know and so I let them

know you know and I’m not trying to

break out relationship I tell them so

much I’m telling you they’re gonna

that’s gonna lead to somebody throwing

acid in your face I just want you to be

equipped with knowledge knowledge that

does that’s not what a healthy

relationship looks like yes that’s not

what it looks like and sometimes you can

end up and you don’t even know how you

got there right because nobody no abuser

walks up and knocks you upside the head

they never do they’re always charming

and wonderful Oh

they groom you yes they make you love

and that’s in all sorts of abuse whether

it’s emotional abuse sexual abuse yeah a

lot of times it just as you saying it’s

not just someone assaulting you out of

the blue sometimes it happens that way

but a lot of times it’s someone that you

know and love and trust and that you’ve

allowed in because they have been so coy

and cunning and kind and you know what

like I said I will not change the way

that I love people I will love them too

the hand I’m committed and you know I

stick around a little bit like I’m

supposed to I’m just going to be more

mindful about who I give that love to

you know women we love we don’t function

the way that men do we love harder we

love longer we’re more forgiving and so

sometimes the way that we are as women

emotionally you know it gets us in these

situations you know and so I won’t

apologize for the kind of heart that I

have I’ll just be I’ll just be smarter

next time so you’re open to another

relationship oh I’m going to get married

again do still dig me they still like me

they still like me the good ones see

they see way beyond the scars and what

are you gonna do about your hesitation

to forgive how are you going to walk out

forgiveness so that your heart can be

healthy and hold to move on you know the

thing about it is it’s not it doesn’t

weigh heavy on my heart because I know

I’m going to forgive him I know I’m

gonna stopping you from saying you know

what today I’m gonna start walking I’m

going to forgive and start walking down

that road you know what’s stopping me um

I’m not ready and nobody said on that

floor is he burned me alive but me and

so that’s why I’m kind to me

and nobody can want nobody this is my

journey and God knows my heart and he

knows that I have no bitterness and no

hate in my heart and he knows he already

God already knows I’m gonna forgive this

man and it has nothing to do with him

having remorse cuz he doesn’t have any

remorse has nothing to do with him I’m

telling everyone else no it’s you I

didn’t see any remorse in the sky

whatsoever none

um that’s a whole nother episode right

there but so when he spoke at the trial

and said he was sorry we’re Salem or it

was just words does some pathology going

on here I don’t know but anyway mm-hmm

it takes a special kind of person to not

just douse somebody with sulfuric acid

but sit and watch it burn off their burn

off their skin that’s a special kind of

person when there was no argument and

this I did nothing but care about this

person I just want to break up is it

that was my crime takes a special kind

of person to do something like this so

I’m going to forgive this guy but I

don’t lash myself or beat myself because

I have it because I know it’s going to

happen in my own time because it’s my

journey but in a sense you have released

him from the dead about this guy exactly

and that’s very clear because you

wouldn’t be able to sit here and speak

with such a heart of gratitude and

generosity and caring of others that are

around you if you were holding on

tightly to what he did and constantly

thinking about him I think that’s what

we don’t understand is that the more

attention you give to the person that

you are and with her hate the bigger

their image grows in your mind they

completely consumed and that is why I

don’t hate him the true opposite of love

is not hate it is indifference I have

been different mm-hmm I am indifferent

you know I don’t hate him it would

require too much of me

that that energy that it would take to

hate this guy I can be using it to love

10,000 other people it’s a wrong it

takes up the same amount of energy it’s

not gonna give it to him he didn’t

deserve that so what would you say to a

woman that right now you know she’s

she’s watching this or a man watched

this and they’re still not quite sure if

what they’re in they’re feeling a little

inkling that what the relationship

they’re in might be what you’re

describing what would you say are the

top three things that if you see these

things two or three things if you you

catch sight of these things in the next

24 hours or you’ve seen them in the past

week then you need to get to safety

number one if somebody puts their hands

on your period even one time they’re

going to do it again they don’t do it

again okay matter how many times they

tell you they’re not they’re going to do

it again okay because if it’s even a

part of their psyche to put their hands

on you’re going to do it again verbal

abuse put it put downs people

love you don’t put you down they don’t

do that emotional abuse something that

nobody ever thinks about anytime a man

wants to marry you immediately this guy

wanted to marry me immediately anytime

they want to attach to you and commit to

you way before societal norms that’s a

sign of abuse that’s the sound of

somebody wanted to control you very very

fast because he wanted me to marry him

and quit my job mm-hmm so he get to have

total control of me yeah yeah that’s a

sign the big thing is you know you know

you need to leave if somebody threatens

you and says I’m going to kill you if

you leave me the amount times out of ten

will hmm they will you know well I think

that your your fervor your passion your

fire and you know your your focus like

you’re so focused now on your passion

for helping people get to safety and to

not have to experience what you did in

the fact that you’re willing to be so

open and vulnerable with your store

we’re all grateful because we feel like

we’ve been in a counseling session thank

you and even if someone is not

specifically in the situation that

you’re describing still there’s so much

health that you have brought to our

hearts and to our minds so that we can

all be whole and healthy no matter what

we’ve been through in our lives and

we’re grateful for that thank you for

having me we’re great

would you please help me to welcome

crispy skins for boon
