About Me

~ AUTHOR ~ ADVOCATE ~ MOTIVATING SPEAKER ~
Vicki's primary focus is self-injury awareness. Vicki is author of No More Pain! Breaking the Silence of Self-Injury which was published in May, 2004. In November of 2005, Vicki created the first & only self-injury support group in New Jersey called BSSI where it continues to take place the 1st & 3rd Friday of every month! A year later, Vicki formed Launching Point, a 501(c)3 charitable organization that serves as a self-injury support & resource center in Morris County, NJ!(www.LaunchingPoint.org)
Vicki got caught up in a lifestyle of cutting, burning, hitting, and hair-pulling. She now lives a life free of all self-injury and all other addictions! Make sure you pass the link below of the program that aired on CBN's The 700 Club on October 17, 2007. Pass the link to those struggling with self-injury, or those who need to know more about self-injury. Let's break the silence of self-injury. Watch now!

My Interests

In loving memory of Vicki's mother, Anna:
Anna Lauria Frusco
September 6, 1946 to January 5, 2007

I'd like to meet:

Vicki was brought up in a small resort town in New Jersey called Seaside Heights. To this day it is home in her heart. Vicki is a Christian who wants to make a difference - she cares about people and desires to make a positive impact in this world! She believes that every person can overcome past problems and look forward to a bright & healthy future!

Mainly interested in meeting those who share the same passion and mission in life! Spending time with amazing people with a great outlook on life, good sense of humor, adventure, and reminising old times, laughing, and enjoying the moments of the present and the good from the past. Love to keep things simple. God rocked my world and He can rock yours too. Remember, God rocks!

Semper Fi. Once a Marine, always a marine!

The Barber author unkown
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"
"No!!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet.
