blogs and chat
March 24, 2006
My blog stats page brings me several gems each week. Helen Munt’s Silent No More has a lovely tribute to Strong at the Heart. Thanks, Helen. Her’s is a fresh voice from a survivor and student perspective. Her blog is just getting off the ground and has some good links.
Another new-to-me survivor blog is Survivors Can Thrive, where the current discussion is on taking action against sexual abuse. Ideas are bubbling there. Go have a look.
Live chat for Strong at the Heart is coming up on Wednesday, April 5th, 10 a.m. in the west, 1 p.m. on the east coast of North America, unless you’re in Halifax. Susan Phillips of Connect for Kids is hosting the hour long live discussion. An active site for people concerned with the well being of children, Connect for Kids lives up to their name.

Carolyn: Thanks, so much, for the link! I love the work you’re doing. It is very hopeful, empowering…and STRONG! I think we have common goals in the messages we want to convey. There is strength, there is light, there is love. Survivors can, indeed, thrive!

Yes, I’m so glad you see that and live it, too.
One of the hardest things for me in healing was feeling, “Will this ever end?” Like I thought I should be getting over an illness or something.
It took time for me to realize that what I was doing was building strength from within, strength that was going to carry me though a whole lot in life. Really, it was about finding my truth and then finding my power.
