ABOUT Acacia by Acacia
Happiness IS HERE
Hello!
First time I was on stage I was performing in a preschool dance recital. By the time I was 25 I had been on countless stages speaking, singing or dancing at conference events, competitions, and more.
As my life grew more dynamic, people would tell me I should write a book and tell my story. People I admired would call me “wise” and “inspirational.”
I didn’t believe them.
I preferred to talk about something fun or make people laugh with my silly dance moves!
My story of overcoming childhood abuse, surviving suicide, self-help, and living through an active shooter situation in my home wasn’t a warm and fuzzy set of anecdotes.
Who could my stories help? Who would even want to hear any of it? I certainly didn’t feel like broadcasting it.
After the shooting in my home I realized the true value of seeking love within myself in dark moments. Love is what made all those challenging moments growing up worth it. Love is how it could all heal. Love is my reason to smile- even in a life threatening moment.
Now I share my story to help others reconnect with what matters in our lives. No matter how tough, dark or stressful it may seem at times, there is hope. There is love.
I’m excited to help share this message together- with a few whacky dance moves snuck in of course!
“Love really can conquer all when we know how!”
