DETAILS ABOUT THE JOURNEY
Why is the topic so important?
What we do in our everyday experiences brings about important life lessons. We’re living inside the topic each day we inhale anew breathe. In These days and times, toxicity has settled in the environment. Just think about it: every day we wake up we’re on the battlefield fighting a war. And just feeling where there’s: good against evil; sons against fathers; daughters against mothers; nations against nations; drugs against diseases; and the list goes on and on.

Over three decades, Norstrom has unmasked the levels of relationships:
pain; abuse; emotions, diseases; work environments; trauma;
and its poison of unforgiveness. In the artistic world, it is those literary creations that demonstrate a measure of personal growth that magnifies those hurdles conquered - from darkness to survival, even her release from incarceration.
While growing and blossoming, she has maintained a healthier lifestyle . . . staying free of unhealthy relationships. Through her experiences, Norstrom has encountered a complete metamorphosis ─ releasing one identity for another. Living inside this transitional lifestyle she states, “I see myself as that long-blooming, rich flower waiting to attract those butterflies. It is there, I’ve come full circle having realized the dangerous effects of toxicity."
True, my dad was a pistol to handle with his toxic behavior. Before, he left us; it was there he begged for “forgiveness” for his #tainted actions.
Really, one just can't continuously do the same thing over and over and over and over. Their level of “forgiveness” diminishes greatly.

How does that old saying go, “Every Dog has their day?”
One can only do so much damage to another before their number is chosen.
It has never easy to get up and air one’s #dirty laundry. But when we keep our house clean, there’s nothing to hide under the carpet before company arrives.

Not a Blueprint: It's the Shoe Prints That Matter
He loved me, yet he left me. It was the first time someone I bonded with and loved had died. Sure, Dad had his way of acting out, but that had never taken away my love for him. On the other hand, I felt a sense of relief knowing Dad would discover his true inner being in another place and time. God had given Mom back her life to find peace and a healing from her wounds. Dad’s demise left me with many damaging scars to carry in life. It has been said that in a family, when one leaves this earth, another life is born. And so it was - . . .
