Memories:

*****
I don't know the make and model of this car outside of Starbucks,
 but I know I immediately had a memory like it was yesterday,
and said," ummmm, a push up from McCurdy's!"
I smiled all the way to my car carrying coffee.

When I was a child, McCurdy's restaurant had a little freezer up by the cashier
with a glass slider door filled with orange creamy push ups  (a fat tube of sherbet on a stick) the same color as this car. 

Memories pop out of no where and everywhere.
Imagine the thoughts that stop an abused child or an adult survivor in his/her tracks.
 Have you seen someone stare off in space or stop doing something?
My memory was over 50 years old...see they don't go away.
There are good memories and there are bad ones.
If the survivor gets the appropriate help from  a professional those
fearful moments may some day change to more good memories and fewer flashes of the bad stuff.

To Hell and Back:

*******
The whole reason I even do a blog is to get your attention!
But I really don't have it yet.
1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys are molested.
Whether it is one time or hundreds of times... there is trauma.
There are places NOW available to help the survivors.
And the mother needs to know she's not the only one.

How can you help?
I am asking you to buy my book to help others.
I wish I would have had something to read when I needed it.

The royalties from the E-book memoir
and the softcover go to the Survivor's Healing Center.
There is a copy in the SHC lending library and also at the Soquel
Porter Memorial Library in Soquel.

Buy a book. Read it. Pass it on.
 You know you know someone this will help!
