Charlene Kay Fouts, founder of Healing Acres Never Again (HANA) is today's guest. Fouts, who was the victim of abuse after abuse is certainly not a victim today.  In fact, she is a flourishing and forceful advocate, assisting victims and others who have been involved in various painful experiences, to rise above the experience and thrive.  While HANA addresses various types of trauma, the organization focuses on recovery for people who have experienced incest, domestic violence, sexual abuse, rape, and abortion.

All too often, these traumas, and others, are left unchecked and lie dormant until a circumstance in life draws them out, usually in the form of nightmares, addictions, or unhealthy patterns.    In Fouts’ own words, “There’s not one of us that does not have hurts and pains that are sometimes bigger than us.  We try to ignore it or excuse that it really isn’t that bad, but the pain is there, even if we don’t understand it.” "The storms we experience in life either build or break us. They ultimately forge our character, build our inner strength, and create our foundation in life, as well as our faith in God."
