Yes it’s been a full year since Marj started the Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse, and from the look of this month’s carnival, hosting over on her blog, this may be the best one yet! She’s got 30 posts linked in this edition, so there’s plenty to read, and talk about. Please, take a look, and visit all the contributors.
While you’re there, be sure to thank Marj for starting the carnival, and for all the work she puts in as well!
Pin This past weekend, the wife and I went to see the new Dunkirk movie by Christopher Nolan. I’m not going to write a movie review, nor will there be any spoilers, but one interaction toward the very end of the movie did make me think of this blog for a moment. It’s toward the very…
I’m showing all the classic signs of someone struggling with stress related disorders right now. Headaches, fatigue, jaw pain from gritting and grinding my teeth, etc. That’s not good, but at the same time, it’s something I’ve got to learn to live with. You see the stress comes not from looking for a new job,…
Pin Interesting discussion on this podcast episode about celebrities opening up about mental health issues, and whether it’s a good or bad thing. I do believe, overall, it helps any time someone is willing to talk about dealing with mental health issues. But, there are definitely some things to think about, especially as Gabe and Michelle…
Recently, I had occasion to speak to two friends, on the same day. The conversations couldn’t have been any more different. One friend was celebrating some good news, while the other was struggling under the weight of health issues and needing someone to simply listen and sympathize with them. As someone who cares about both…
I’ve been thinking a lot about this idea, ever since I first heard about Darryl Kile’s death. Darryl apparently died of heart disease. He was 5 months younger than I am. You just don’t think about people 33-34-35 years old dying suddenly because of heart failure, but it does happen. For me, being right there…
Pin I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I’ve seen four different articles in the last week that all point to something that has always bothered me about all the talk of sexual assault victims and people dealing with mental health issues. It seems as though there is one group of people who we are…

Hi —
I wrote to you almost a year ago to tell you and your readers about my debut novel that raises funds to prevent child abuse. I’m a therapist in a children’s mental health program in West Virginia and work with both male and female surviors. Here’s the latest review of my novel:
“Give yourself a treat with something different next time you’re ready to read. Try Rarity from the Hollow. It is one of the most unusual novels I’ve read in a great while. Look in on a dysfunctional family, poverty, child abuse, and the thought processes of a young girl turning the corner from childhood to adolescence, then put them all together in a surreal setting that looks at our society from a distinctly different viewpoint. You’ll enjoy the ride with Lacy Dawn and friends and family, but don’t expect the ride to be without bumps and enough food for thought to last you a long time.â€
