Little Dreams

A woman experiencing domestic violence struggles to understand how she got there and what part she played in creating a life so far from the peaceful one she wants. She tries too hard to make her big dream of getting married and living happily ever after come true. She focuses too much on how she wants things to be, not enough on how things really are, and forgets to realize that everything she already has could be at risk. In her forties, she thinks she’s learned from past relationship mistakes, so her next one will be better. Yet she finds herself in her worst relationship yet. Fortunately, she is able to break free from that situation. In addition to a better appreciation of single life, she realizes she can work toward making smaller dreams come true and focus on the loving relationships she has with her family and friends. Although she has long wanted to travel to France, she is afraid to go. Walking through bigger fears enables her to overcome her fear of traveling alone. She makes her little dream of traveling to Provence come true and the joy of that journey has been elevated by the darkness she survived.
