Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 406

Tonight's special guest is Deborah Talley, child abuse survivor, a Californian whose parents had migrated from the Deep South. As a young child she was drawn to education, when school became a sought-out oasis. Young Deborah recognized that God loved her and had provided her, and everyone else, with gifts and talents. She's worked in the private and non profit arenas, is a writer, producer of the "Rare Woman" talk radio show, and has counseled people from every walk of life. Ms. Talley is a spiritual coach and has written a journal workbook that she uses in tandem with her “Maps and Lanterns” classes (often done over SKYPE) where she guides participants to their highest life. As she writes, "After suffering abuse in childhood, decades of being in a maze of hurt, and self-loathing, darkness, I was able to forgive, heal, and find my purpose, using God-given tools. I now share those Maps and Lanterns with others! Join other women in classes designed to bring you to a place of forgiveness and healing, from your own home! The class on forgiveness consists of eight one-hour online group or individual sessions." Her success is based on her genuine love for others (and their success) coupled with her authentic ability to honor their gifts.
