Relationships Change, and That’s OK

I was reminded of this last week, and this month’s Carnival Against Child Abuse focus on relationships had me thinking even more about it. I think, as survivors, we have a tendency to want to hold on to the people we consider friends, for fear that...

Plan for Everything

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to be part of a presentation talking about using various Social Networking sites and how to benefit from them. One of the examples I gave of how things could go badly, is if you don’t make decisions ahead of...

Light at the End of the Tunnel?

Maybe, just maybe, things are starting to get back to normal around here. After a couple of huge projects that had me working much more than my 40 hours per week, and taking up pretty much all of my mental energy, which ended just in time for the annual...

The Irish in Me

This past weekend, as I do most every year, I spent some time at the Dublin Ohio Irish Festival. As we listened to one of the many rollicking Irish songs being played, I couldn’t help but think about the history of the Irish, and the way it’s...

Blogging as Cure for Feeling Alone

I really enjoyed seeing Sarah’s “Thank You” post today. I loved what she had to say about how blogging has helped her.: Blogging. It’s broken the aloneness. I’ve kept silent for so long. Afraid to tell the awful things that...

Freedom to Heal

Given the response to my last post, and the discovery that this month’s blog carnival against child abuse topic is Freedom to Heal, I thought it would be a good time to expound a bit on the idea of taking care of yourself. As the comments point...

Note About Comments

Someone left a couple of comments on the site last night, anonymously, and then sent me an email using the email form anonymously as well, requesting that I remove the comments they had made, as they were embarrassed by having made them public. I agreed...

Tamara left me a comment on Facebook today that made me think. As you may or may not know, I’ve been doing a bit of traveling, and will continue to in the next couple of weeks, both as part of my work, and for some vacation. She noted that for her...

Why I’m thankful for Social Networking

Reposted from my other blog, because it applies to the readers here just as much! As we in the US get ready to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, many of us like to blog about the things we are thankful for. Each year, as I dwell on that thought...

Pardon the Interruption

If you came around looking for the site last night, it may have disappeared on you. It didn’t really, I just moved everything over to a new server, and as always, it took a little while for everyone’s ISP to get the information on where the...

What to Say

I saw this advice about what to say to someone who’s currently unemployed on the Manager Tools blog this week, and it reminded me very much of how I felt after I had a fugue episode and was in therapy and on medication. Paul went on to say that...

Little Over a Year

Yes, it’s been a little over a year since I announced the launch of the Survivors Network site. Like most years of my life, this year didn’t exactly go as planned either, and changes in my job caused me to spend less time there, and less time...
