Hello, my name is Carole Roy, and I'd like to Welcome you to my *virtual* Safe Haven! This home is dedicated to, and for, domestic abuse survivors. Please come on in! I hope you will find some sort of peace inside the virtual walls of my home. And please know that you are *always* welcome and *safe* inside my Haven. Visit the many informative rooms which will hopefully aid and guide you to finding the inner strength and peace in your heart and in your life again, with the help, support, guidance and love of those who care and who are survivors of abuse...

Beyond Broken Wings

"We are, each of us,
angels with one wing
and we can only fly
by embracing
one another."

Lucien de Creszenzo

Upon opening the door of my home, please read and keep these words of love close to your heart and in your thoughts at all times. May God Bless... For you *ARE* special...

You're special. In all the world there's nobody like you.

Since the beginning of time there has never been another person like you. Nobody has your smile, nobody has your eyes, your nose, your hair, your hands, your voice.

You're special. No one can be found who has your handwriting. Nobody anywhere has your tastes for food, clothing, music or art.

No one sees things just as you do.

In all of time there's been no one who laughs like you, no one who cries like you, and what makes you cry or laugh will never produce identical laughter and tears from anybody else, ever.

You're the only one in all of creation who has your set of abilities. Oh, there will always be somebody who is better at one of the things you're good at, but no one in the universe can reach the quality of your combination of talents, ideas, abilities and feelings. Like a room full of musical instruments, some may excel alone, but none can match the symphony sound when all are played together. You're a symphony.

Through all eternity, no one will ever look, talk, walk, think or do like you.

You're special...you're rare. And in all rarity there is great value. Because of your great value you need not attempt to imitate others...you will accept--yes, celebrate your differences.

You're special and you're beginning to realize it's no accident that you're special. You're beginning to see that God made you special for a purpose. He must have a job for you that no one else can do as well as you.

Out of the billions of applicants, only one is qualified, only one has the right combination of what it takes.
