Bad beginnings do not necessitate bad endings

about Darling Princess

Dear Prince and Darling Princess are identities developed when shame is shed.

The valiant love of pro-life people changed my life forever. One person can change the world for another. Anthy helped me escape. Marilyn provided a home for me to begin healing. The Darling Princess education company seeks to help others operate in the same valiant love.

Victims of abuse carry shame and guilt, erroneously, imposed on them by perpetrators and by society. I think that is terribly wrong.

The philosophy of the Darling Princess is one of valiant love. It can take great courage to love people who have been traumatized, because victims and survivors of abuse have trouble with trust. It’s hard for us to develop relationships. Recidivism, returning to abusive situations can happen when trauma bonds with abusers are stronger than healthy, nurturing relationships. Community leaders need to be able to identify and understand the effects of abuse and complex trauma. Applying knowledge and valiant love can change that dynamic and facilitate transforming relationships.

The Darling Princess seeks to promote valiant love by all means possible. We begin by educating law enforcement, healthcare professionals, pregnancy resource centers, social service providers, churches, and community members about child sexual abuse, human trafficking, and pro-life issues. We provide individualized in-person trainings, live events, digital products and printed materials. Vulnerable and victimized people can develop the resources they need, not only to survive their abuse, but also to thrive in our modern world.

Got Legislation?

Darlene also provides testimony and resources to lawmakers and policy influencers. As former VP of Savethe1, Darlene is well equipped to respond to potential legislation with so-called “hard cases” provisions. As a survivor of juvenile sex trafficking and having escaped forced abortion, she provides testimony for policy relative to human trafficking, as well.

Contact Darlene today for custom workshops, keynotes for your fundraising event, or communicating stories that show what valiant love really looks like. 

“With a passion about the value of every life; whether one is conceived with wine and roses, in a test tube or as a result of violence, every new life matters. On the other end of life, and at every stage of development in between, the value of human beings doesn’t change. Abortion, abuse, trafficking, and euthanasia are all violations of our human rights continuum. Freedom is a sacred responsibility. True liberty doesn’t hurt other people. Human beings are higher than animals. We are all humans, so let us love one another. We are accountable to a Higher Power. The Cross is emblematic of our responsibility. The vertical represents the need for relationship with our Creator and the horizontal signifies our interconnectedness to other humans.

Without the right to life, nothing else matters.”

Rahab’s Gift

Rahab was a harlot. She lived in the walled city of Jericho. Her faith in God was powerful enough to save her from a life of prostitution. It saved her whole family, as well. Ultimately, she became a pivotal member of the lineage of the Lord Jesus Christ. Her story is in the Book of Joshua. Rahab is mentioned in other places in Scripture too, not the least of which is in the Hall of Faith, Hebrews 11.

Rahab’s Gift of Faith inspired the creation of a course for pregnancy and community resource centers to help them recognize and respond to human trafficking. This online, interactive course contains nearly five hours of video content in 12 easy to manage modules. Participants have access to a resource list for further study and a library, plus sharable content for social media. You can watch the video version of Module 1 by clicking here.

Sometimes thought provoking, sometimes comforting, I share my heart.

The heart of a woman transformed by God’s grace and valiant love.
