I’ve been off-line for a couple of days, enjoying some vacation time with the wife. Tonight we’re in Boone, NC with free wi-fi so I’m spending just a little bit of time getting caught up on some things. One of those things is pointing out that the October Edition of the Carnival Against Child Abuse is up. Check it out for some interesting reads.
At least, that’ll give you plenty to read while you wait for me to have some more writing time. 🙂
Children who grew up with trauma and abuse often struggle with trying to explain it to themselves. When you’re a child, you don’t necessarily understand how large the world is, or your place in it.

I had a good time on vacation this week. It was tiring trying to get everywhere I wanted to go and see everything I wanted to see, but I really enjoy that. There’s something about the adventure that really makes me feel alive. Plus, getting out and seeing the larger world really puts my problems…
As you know, from time to time, I like to post here about new things that are happening over on the Child Abuse Survivors Network, just as a reminder to those of you who don’t make regular stops over, or as a way to let those of you who aren’t members know what’s going on….
I was reading a post over at Robert Scoble’s blog today about what he’s been doing, the things he’s learning about himself and how his blogging fits into his life. It’s all very interesting. As you know, I have two blogs, so these questions about how they fit into my life, and what part of…
