Welcome to my blog!

My name is Shauna Driscoll and I am a blogger and soon to be author of my very first book.

 

I started blogging to share my personal story with domestic violence in the hopes of raising awareness.

 

With my blogs I hope to empower, encourage, educate, inspire and uplift my readers through my own personal experience.

 

Please feel free to reach out! Everything we go through is not just to keep to ourselves. What we have gone through gives us the opportunity to help others who are going now through.

 

We all come from so many different paths and many walks of life. This is a judgement free zone, ALL are welcome!
