Little Over a Year

Yes, it’s been a little over a year since I announced the launch of the Survivors Network site. Like most years of my life, this year didn’t exactly go as planned either, and changes in my job caused me to spend less time there, and less time working on my websites in general, as I expected to. Yet, the site surely has struck a nerve and become a “home” to many survivors. Some have been involved heavily at times, coming and going as their own lives have dictated, others have been involved in limited ways consistently all year, and still others are relatively new to the site, but all year long it has proven to be a place where folks are interacting and supporting one another. I cannot begin to express just how thrilled I am about that.

Wow. Thanks to everyone who has been part of the network this year, and I hope you will continue to be part of it as your own life and journey allows. If you haven’t visited yet, what’s keeping you? 🙂

    Today is my 10th wedding anniversary. As many of you know, I’ve been living apart from my wife because of my job, though she will finally be joining me in South Carolina next month! To top it off, my wife is actually even further away than normal, as she is traveling in Greece as part…

    I hadn’t been on-line much this weekend, so when I saw there were 9 comments, 7 new, on that last post I thought for sure I had gotten hit by a comment spammer. Much to my surprise, though, that was not the case, there was a whole little conversation taking place in the comments and…

    Challenging Thoughts on Compassion For Offenders

    Over on Theo Fleury’s website, there is a guest post today by Bob Spensley about having compassion for offenders, whether they be criminals, political oppresors, kidnappers or sexual predator. Granted, this is not the most popular way to approach those who commit these acts, but I think Bob makes one good point, whether you agree…
