    I haven’t been updating here as much as I would like to, but hopefully now that Angela’s feeling better, life can get a little bit back to normal! Who knew a little virus could create such havoc in our lives? 🙂 I can tell you that while she gives me a lot of credit for…

  • Still Here, 2020 Edition

    Recently, a friend on Facebook decided to ask us all to share one thing that happened this year that was a positive, to try and collect any and all good news in one place. It was a good idea, and as I thought about how I would respond to something like that, I thought of some of the good things that have happened this year. I’ve had some pretty nice successes at work. I’ve connected on a deeper level with my wife, and managed to stay connected to a close group of friends and family. Those were good things, but at the end of it all, I kept coming back to something I talked about at the end of 2019 on the Find Your Voice Podcast, and then again on this very blog on January 1 of 2020.

  • Reflective Pause

    Yesterday marked an anniversary for me. Nothing big, but it was important to that time of my life. 6 years ago yesterday I started working at my current employer. Starting this job then was a big deal, not because of the job necessarily but because it marked the final corner turn in my recovery. After…

  • Is everybody happy?

    I got an email the other day with a sort of throw away comment that bothered me. Not so much in an offensive way, more of a “huh?”. The comment was this “My goal in life is to make everyone happy”. Now that sounds nice, and on first reading it was that sort of self-sacrificing,…

  2. I am doing a report well a bunch of reports on child abuse. I am 12 years old and very very interested in stopping abuse.So all of u people who are with me give me an e-mail and if u have any stories or books on abuse then just e-mail me the titles and stories at blonde_stewy@hotmail.com. thanks for all of your help and lets stop it!!

  3. yes i would like to stop child abuse because it is sad and stupid to see children being abuse. When I did a project on child abuse I felt so sorry for the children who have been abused because they have to deal with the bad situations and the harsh punishment. And that is not the way to handle things not to beat on them . Plus who iis dumb enough to hurt their children like that. That is horrible and very bougs.

  4. I think that child abude is a really bad thing because it hurt really bad. If I was them I would run away because I could not put up with what my parent would be doing to do. I would be really mad and I would run to the poile station and live with my gradma for the rest of my life time.

  5. I think that all abuse is wrong and that poeple wh abuse and hurt other have a seriuos problem. They need to get help.I personaly have been abused in every way possible so I know how they all feel.I wish some of the abuser around the world knew how it feels.

  6. I think that child abuse should be stopped! i have custody of one of my granddaughters that was abused by her mother at 5 months so I know waht it is. I think that if people look really look at it they will see that when you could punish your child (a good ass whooping)thre wasn’t as much abuse as there is these days, also the things they are taught in schools about abuse (wrong)I had many stripes as a child on my legs from peach tree limbs and let me tell you it done me good. So I think your wrong when you say you can’t whoop a child. Now a days everything thing is considered child abuse. they take it a little too far. Kids would be alot better off if they could get a spanking without it being abuse. So many parents these days won’t touch a kid because they think they will be locked up. That’s what’s wrong with kids these days that are so out of control and run over the parents cause they know you can’t do a damn thing about it cause they yell abuse so damn much.
