Someone sent me this link

Someone sent me this link to back issues of Moving Forward Online, which was a newsletter published for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. There’s a lot of interesting stuff in there, I hope to find some free time to read through it all soon.

Speaking of free time, I have this wierd thing going on. I have plenty of free time and I’m enjoying spending time with my wife and doing some just fun recreational type stuff. At the same time I look at this site, and my tech site and I think I haven’t been spending enough time dealing with them. I know it’s just my random perfectionism creeping in, (“If you’re going to do a site spend the time to do it well or don’t do it at all” -ya’ know?) but I can’t help but feel that way sometimes. It’s frustrating! I think the work I put in on both is pretty good, and I think I do my job pretty well, and I’m a pretty good husband, but I’m not perfect at any of them, so I’m always viewing myself in terms of what I need to improve on, instead of accepting that pretty good is good enough for most things. I wish I could be more accepting of myself…

    This is an interesting article for me. It states that just 2% of workers feel like their manager would be able to help them if they suffered from mental illness such as depression.

    It Goes On

    I saw this quote from Robert Frost the other day and I thought that it was one of the one-liners that really explains exactly how the healing and recovery process continues, even when it doesn’t appear to be. In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on. I couldn’t…

    Are You Telling Your “Story”?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    As an avid user of social media, and the internet in general, I’ve been fascinated watching the popularity of apps like Snapchat, without fully understand the appeal. Recently, however, I’ve blogged about my discovery of how useful something like Snapchat or Instagram’s “story” feature could be: I was a late-comer to understanding what Snapchat could…

    When Marj mentioned on Twitter today that this month marks the four year anniversary of the Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse, it got me thinking about the importance of anniversaries. As a survivor, or anyone who is concerned about healing or improving in any way, anniversaries, birthdays, holidays, etc. are a good opportunity to take…
