Alas, I have not been able to keep up this blog. I've been out of town, doing trauma processing, and experiencing many other physical and emotional distractions. I apologize for "falling down on the job," but--instead of pulling this down--I'll just leave these posts here, in case they may be of use to anyone who stumbles upon them.

Please feel free to share them if you think that the stories will be of value or comfort to others, though they can be triggering.

Thanks for stopping by with your kind words, Rachel. Thank you for the permalinks. I will take a look at them as soon as I can.
I wish you many blessings on your healing journey.
Thriver,
Thanks for making this space available. No apologies needed for taking time out for you. Let it be an example for the rest of us who, as part of being survivors, struggle with self care.
rstp: thanks for the support. :)

Great to hear from you, Addy! :)
Hey, I'm Ani. I wanted to let you know that I've added a link to your site onto the side bar of my own. As a survivor I'm trying to connect with as many other survivors as I can, such as yourself. My main blog is at http://withdissonance.net if you want to check it out. If its okay with you, could I add a link to your blog there also? If you'd like you can add a link to either of my blogs here. Thanks so much.
~ Ani
Ani: thanks for visiting! I'll checkk out your blog.
I found your site tonight. I just started blogging about what's happened to me.

That's my blog.
Thanks for visiting, Broken Child. Know that you are not alone. I'll come by and look at your blog.
BTW, if you want to be a little more involved in the "survivor community" or look at links to lots of other survivor blogs, you can go to my other blog, which is more active and up-to-date: survivorscanthrive.blogspot. I also have a dot com site of the same name: Survivors Can Thrive!
Thank you! I stopped writing in my blog because I thought no one was reading it and I felt frustrated. I want to get the word out. Thanks for your encouragement and for adding me to your site
Artemis: Thanks for visiting...and you're welcome. But, I clicked on your name and noticed your profile wasn't available. I'd like to visit your blog, if I can get there.

Dear Marj aka Thriver,
My name is Tory Stephen, my wife Liz is a survivor. I have written a book about our experience over the past 20 years together in her healing. I was wondering if you would be interested in reviewing it and possibly creating a link for other to purchase it. The books title is Today's Knight and it will be released Sept. 17, 2010. A Kindle ebook version is avalible now on Amazon. My email is tory@BalsamMountainPress.com, I am self-publishing this work. Thanks for the consideration.
So glad you left your blog intact. Thank you for sharing! We need more survivors to speak out.
As you can see, dear readers, I don't get over to this old blog very often to respond to comments. If you really want to get in touch with me, please go over to my survivorscanthrive blog using the link on the sidebar. I'm over there almost every day.
Thanks, Percheron Gray, for taking the time to find me over there at the active blog already! ;)
Thanks for visiting, but I can't promise any new posts as this is an inactive blog.
