Happy 2011!

Much as Tracie mentioned in the last Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse of 2010, I’m not much for making New Year’s resolutions. On the other hand, I find birthdays, and new year’s, to be a good time to reflect on what’s going on...

Network Troubles

Just wanted to get a post out to address a couple of things that have come up now that a few folks have started wandering in to the Survivors Network site. First off, if you try to register and never get the email confirmation, please check your spam...

Unbridled Glee

While we were vacationing down in Florida this week, I heard my wife laugh in such a free, gleeful way that it actually made me jealous of her for a minute. We were riding Space Mountain, and she was seated directly behind me. As you may know, the ride...

Stigma – Damaged Goods?

I saw this post over at Psychology Today and it’s been lingering in the back of my mind for a few days now. Specifically this: Most child abuse survivors are closeted. There is a stigma attached to what we lived through, like we’re some sort...

What’s Been Distracting Me?

I know I’ve been away from the site for a bit, and have only managed to check in over on the Survivor’s Network every couple of days. I hope the news I recently shared about my professional life will help explain my absence, as well as explain...

Survivors Network Update

It’s not just you. The network site is not loading for anyone. I know that it’s not working, but I do not have any idea what’s causing it. Unfortunately, this being my last week at my current job, and next week being when I move to another...

Not Fooling

So it’s April 1st. But for me, especially this year, it’s no time for pranks. April 1 was the day of my first date with the woman who would become my wife, in 2000, so it’s always been a day of great beginnings. This year, April 1 is...

One Day At a Time

Recently, many of the people in my life have been dealing with either a loss, or the possibility of a loss of a loved one. As I’ve heard them talk, or seen them share updates online, I’m reminded that none of us knows how many days we have...

Quick Life Update

With everything being brand new it’s been a little tough to develop any routine, let alone one that includes posting to the blog on a regular basis. After one week at the new job, I’m just starting to develop a bit of a routine there, but...

Small Wins

I was having an email conversation with a friend the other day. We were talking about whether making small changes, maybe even relatively superficial ones, can lead to bigger changes. My feeling is that they absolutely can. It’s easy to look at...

Male Survivors and The Internet

I was pointed to this article about how the internet helps abuse survivors on Twitter a few days ago, and made a note to read it in further detail later. As I did read it, one section jumped out at me. ?The study also revealed some interesting facts and...

Survivor – Know Thyself

Recently, I came across this article about how common happiness boosters might actually make you feel worse, and as I read it I came to realize that really, even though some of these can be mood boosters, or stress relievers, for some people they simply...
