This website is a testimony of my life, my experiences, my feelings, my thoughts, my struggles, my triumphs and a collection of everything in between. It’s the truth and the freedom I’ve yearned to own and I will try to be the best version of myself along the way.

 

I'm a dreamer, a lover of all things simple & natural, a crazed foodie, a palm tree obsessor, a door enthusiast, a mother & wife, a runner, a beach dweller, a woman who adores friendship & family, a sucker for good company, a music lover, a fitness trainer, a hippy, a gardener, a traveller, a fabric lover, a card giver, an optimist, a sister, a party girl, an activist for social justice, a wanna be surf ripper, a bamboo appreciator, a bargain hunter, a writer, a creator, a photo taking fiend, a lover of eyes & lips & calf muscles, a beer lover, an ocean addict, a bali regular, a sport enthusiast & a girl who idolises the beauty & protection of our earth...

 

My name is Tara Eastwell. I was raped well over 200 times during the ages of 3 or 4 until around age 11 or 12 by the same Man. My sexual abuse was a regular occurrence with a smorgasbord of sexual acts. My younger years carried tumultuous waves of disturbing thoughts and foreign practices. I will speak of my journey and the way I migrated from my turbulent past to a place of peace.

 

Secrets, protecting people other than myself, denial and lies are just some of the reasons why it’s taken me so long to share my story. It’s been bursting to come to life and here it is....(there will be factual and descriptive short stories in the memoir section), otherwise stay connected to the blogs as I share with you different subjects spoken through my experiences. 

 

I cannot disclose the person who did this to me. In time the whole world will know and I cannot wait to expose this person. My reasons are substantiated within my heart for countless reasons. In the mean time I will share 'My Story' as honest and explicit as I can.

 

My absolute truth with sharing my life’s story with you on a website platform is to surrender the lonely life I've lived for nearly my entire life. For so long, I have ached for inner peace, to be free from my hidden world, free from the guilt, the family lies, the unruly expectations of others. I have torn the muzzle that has bound my mouth and learnt to control the emotionally toxic slide that exists so fervently between the walls of secrets and child abuse. 

 

....and because this repulsive crime exists all around us, I wanted to invite the world to hear it. I want to share my story, my experiences, and my hardships so I can connect with others who have struggled like I have. I want to connect with people who are desperate to talk, happy to share, encourage their spirit to rise...and whatever it is that helps people through their own discomfort! 

 

I want to share how we can all be the greatest giver to ourselves. To overcome adversity and ultimate betrayal and rise above our weakest experiences…to be free to see!

 

I have been alone for far too long and connecting with you is driving me to work hard on myself, be honest with myself, be truthful to my loved ones and keep pushing for inner freedom! Whether you were sexually violated as a young girl or boy or whether you have been screwed over enough to be dragged into the darkest of days. Or whether you have had a beautiful experience in your upbringing and simply wish to contribute. You will be most welcome here and I invite your input. My website is for everyone to share stories, scream, cry, love, question, uplift, connect….

 

Loving yourself is a beautiful thing, missing out is a devastation. Unlocking pain is achievable, speaking out and sharing our stories is vital and elevating ourselves from the pits of despair is key. I will dedicate my time & fully loaded love to my website so we can ride this wave together. 

 

‘An unblemished spirit is a sanctuary every little person is gifted with. We smile through life not knowing any different, simply transported day by day surrounded by love, encouragement & safety. Compromise the vitality of a pure spirit & your life takes on a completely different journey’ Tara Eastwell
