Stop the Silence:

 



 

*******

 

 

Many survivors have told me that they wish their mother

had read my book. I would suggest you buy my book for them.

Let them write in it. Underline things and cross out stuff.

It is in the second edition which means an introduction

has been added and also a section for beginning conversations.

 

Let's talk about it. I would also invite "mothers of survivors" to contact me.

This has been helpful to discuss and support one another.

Each day more and more mothers are in the spot we have been in.

We are strong. We have voices and we love our children.

You can do this. We can't do it alone. Our faith is the biggest contributor

but this is a start.

 

Walk into any bookstore and order it today.

And I thank you and the Survivor's Healing Center thanks you.

Social Media:

 Tonight was my last time to be in my writing class after 7+ years. I call it graduation.
Good-byes can be difficult but relationships don't ever end, they only change.
I have completed the task I set for myself to complete 3 books.
Now I am ready to tackle other promotional experiences to help end child sexual abuse.

A huge thank you to my (extended family) writing group for listening
and for telling your own stories. Our teacher Ellen Bass is the best!
And thank you for the fun Chinese dinner tonight.

I expect to pick up a copy of everyone's book and read the magazines that carry your
winning poetry and essay contests at the local bookstores. Everyone in the class is a gifted writer.

It's time for me to turn and learn social media and get started on my mission...
 to help mother's heal and unite to end the fight against child sexual abuse. I know I already
said that, but won't you please help me??? It only takes a minute.
