Survivors Can Thrive!: Freedom to Heal!

Freedom to Heal!

Friday Update: The carnival edition is up! Check out all the great links. The format is really cool! Mile 191 has done a great job hosting. And leave comments of support at the participating blogs, won't you? Thanks!

The theme for the July Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse is "Freedom to Heal." I'm excited to announce that Mile 191 at Come Into My Closet will be hosting this Friday, July 17. About this carnival edition, Mile 191 says, "I have come to realize that healing is a choice. We have the freedom to move into a better future and to not give even one more moment of our lives to our abusers. We are free from them and have power over our past as we realize that healing is freedom....possible, available....healing is worth fighting for."

Wow, Mile 191, I couldn't have said it better myself. Now I just know you are going to be a GREAT host! Hurry, folks! The deadline for Friday's carnival is Wednesday, July 15. You can use the Blog Carnival submission form here.

Great way of putting it. I say something very similar in my next book on choices we have in life and we can choose to heal or stay stuck in the past.

Lisa Marie: Oh, I'm so glad you're going to join us!

Erin: Nice to "see" you again. Actually, that wasn't my line, it was Mile 191, the host's. I think it's great, too. Best wishes on your next book.

Good work!

Dear Marj, I just started reading the "freedom to heal" over at Mile191 and I am ddeeply touched and moved and so grateful to be mentioned. Grateful might be not the right English expression. Maybe that my desire to heal hs been recognized. Thank you so much. Tons of hugs.
