Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse for August – Change

I’m going to be hosting the monthly Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse here this month. Since this is a month where I am facing some big changes in life, including moving across the country at the end of it, I thought why not look into the topic of change. As survivors, change can be terrifying. We are comforted by control and predictability, so change isn’t something that we naturally look forward to. But it doesn’t have to stay that way! I’d love to hear from some folks this month who have managed to embrace change, make changes in their own lives, and how they’ve overcome this fear of change!

As always, we will have the regular topics as well and I look forward to seeing all of you submitting a post, old or new, for this month’s carnival!

-Advocacy and Awareness
-Aftermath
-Healing and Therapy
-In the News
-Poetry
-Survivor Stories
-Art Therapy

To submit an article, you can fill out this submission form. To find out more about this “Blog carnival” thing, you can check out Tracie’s page for more details. The deadline for submissions is Weds. Aug 27.  The carnival will go live on Friday Aug 29, the day before I move actually. 😉

Now let’s put together a chorus of survivor’s voices for this month’s carnival and show the world that we’re out here!

    From a post on my other blog about visiting Pearl Fryar’s Topiary Garden: Listening to him did serve as a good reminder that you can’t stand out if you just keep doing the same thing everyone else is doing.

    Thanks to a post on NetBloke, I found this quote from Christopher Morley: There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way. For survivors you could rephrase that, but the idea is simple. Success in life is finding the freedom to make your own choices. Once you’ve…
