    "I was a girl who couldn't feed myself and now I give out 10,000 free meals a month" WOW. I'm in tears!! This was such a powerful story and I so admire LaRayia!

    “She was innocent all along” ...whew! I felt that weight of release. I pray we all find this deep sense of liberation and love enough so we can truly live from this space. Being guided by that deep sense of knowing and guidance in love. Peace and love to all who received this word!

    This woman's story is touching me so much I'm finishing this video and I'm watching it again. And maybe I might just watch this every day until I can find the courage to share my heart and soul and vision for my own community. As abuse survivors we all hear, "hurt people, hurt people." But what we need to hear more is "Healed People Heal People." Thank you all for sharing your healing journeys with the world. This is how we heal the world, by healing ourselves and going on from there.

    AMAZING! When I saw her in the preview and before listening to the promo,, I knew she was special. It isn't LaRaiya's story that touched me as much as it is her overcoming to being. She trusted herself and the wisdom within. She allowed herself to be still and listen, especially in the chaos. LaRaiya's energy radiates from the video.
    LaRaiya, you are undeniable light!! I pray that you continue healing as you move forward on this journey. I also pray that you receive ALL that is for your greatest and highest good! Grace and Peace...

    Her joy cannot be tainted. Her spirit is so radiant. There is so much love and peace, it shines through all her struggles or rather her experiences. I love her intelligence, but more so I love how she loves. She is such a beautiful experience. So glad she exists in this world.

    Nothing is worth more than something from a person that have very little give. That is major faith! Larayia is the type of characteristics that I look for in a elected official where they are volunteering in the community and actually have their sleeve pushed up and doing the thang. She was very obedient to that inner voicee and was given the gift of feeding those around her. She came to the realization and shared a lot of good life lesson for such a young age. She was innocent all along, was jawdropping. Thanks for shariing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

  • @alexatkins9515
    @alexatkins9515 Před 2 lety +38

    Her story definitely resonates. I was abused by both of my parents for 28 years. I think so much of what causes us to endure this is the innocence & disbelief that it’s our parents treating us this way. Wondering if she is a Scorpio or perhaps has a Scorpio stellium with all the rebirths she’s experienced.

  • @PaintingbyAnnette
    @PaintingbyAnnette Před 2 lety +5

    I identify with her so much, the abuse from the mother and not understanding it when you just need love. to being homeless while having a full time job. doing what you were supposed to do and being homeless several times anyway.. to being homeless several times. loosing everything multiple times but thinking "I'm alive I have food water and a car to live in." Not having much money but still giving. Giving to the Ronald McDonald house through ebay on every thing I found at thrift stores and resold while being short of money wondering if i should turn off donations but couldn't because at least my child was healthy... I cried watching this. Because no matter how big your heart is as a woman of color. The first thing someone focus's on when seeing you is your color...

    Unearthly forgiveness is acknowledging someone's innocence. Powerful 💫💫💫

    • @anz10
      @anz10 Před 2 lety

      Not everyone is innocent though and people know what they're doing even if it may come from a place of hurt, they *know* they're hurting us. It's up to us to let go and grow and wish them well in your head, but nobody has to forgive sh*t in my opinion. People need to get comfortable with the fact that some people have been through a lot more than some people can imagine and been asked about forgiveness etc is just *wrong*. How we deal with what happened is another issue, but to be forced into fake forgiveness to make *others* feel better that it wasnt all in vain, a *big no* to that!! Some people have suffered enough and dont need to be guilted into anything anymore. Weve lived in guilt of displeasing toxic parents long enough, we dont need more guilt!! And we are allowed to grieve as long as we need to, it's very painful when all you ever wanted was for it all to be ok since age 7.
