In the United States of America acts of violence occur every 18 seconds, and a woman is abused every 9 seconds by someone she knows! In the last four years, domestic violence has taken the lives of almost 500 women in Georgia. These are startling statistics. The violence must stop!

She has realized how important it is to have clear boundaries to live a healthy balance life. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physically, Mentally, Emotionally and Spiritually.
