I know I’ve been away from the site for a bit, and have only managed to check in over on the Survivor’s Network every couple of days. I hope the news I recently shared about my professional life will help explain my absence, as well as explain why March might not be any different! 😉
Hopefully, once I’m settled into the new job and the new town, things will get back to normal with my online time again. In the mean time, I hope you’ll be patient with me!
In looking at past Thanksgiving holiday posts in an effort to say something new, I came across this one in 2008, and it is still exactly the message I would like to send survivors as we kick off the holiday season in the US. So, I’m re-posting it tonight instead of writing something new, and…
This past weekend we were with my family to celebrate my niece’s first birthday. I couldn’t help but think about what her life is going to be like, all of the many, many things she has in store for her childhood, all the happy memories that she and her older brother are going to have…
In honor of today being World Suicide Prevention Day, I wanted to share my own story. Now, I realize that this may come as a shock to some of you who know me now, but I have attempted suicide. I have spent days of my life contemplating suicide, and have made very detailed plans to…
Well I managed to survive the Christmas holiday with the whole family. 🙂 Hope you managed to do the same… Actually, my Christmas day was pretty nice, I got to wake up and open gifts with my wife, go take in a good movie with her, (Cold Mountain) and then go to my parents house…
Last night I attended a brief workshop-type class on social networking, as opposed to the computer networking that I usually study. 🙂 Being a typical IT guy, sometimes in social situations I can be a bit awkward, at best. Since I keep reading about most people find jobs through people they know, and since as…
I saw this comment hit the blog this evening, and have since sent an email response, but I wanted to share my thoughts with others, and perhaps get a discussion going around the topic. Here’s what Amie wrote earlier: No victim of child abuse will EVER live a happy life. Somewhere deep down inside, they…

Definitely understand, Mike! Best wishes for your new job and new location. Big adjustments.
You have to give your full concentration on “real life” and getting settled…..that happens to all of us bloggers at some point.
Hope your transition goes smoothly! See you when life slows down.
Mike,
Of course. Congratulations on the new job and the move. I hope that the days and weeks ahead are filled with joy.

Mike,
Congrats on the new job and new location. I am really looking forward to you getting back at your blog. I have been searching all over, and there are so few of us dealing with male sexual abuse… that we need to stick together. In the meantime, please let me know what you think of mine. http://www.masteryourhealing.com.

Thanks Erik. no worries, the blog will be here, I’m just going to be a little less consistent for a little while because time will be a bit less available as I move, but it will be back as always as we get into April.
Thanks for sharing your blog, looks like you’ve done a nice job, keep it up!
Good luck with all this new stuff, Mike. I hope it all goes well for you. I am always wishing you the best.
Right now, I’m making the rounds to say goodbye to the blogosphere after five years of blogging. I want to thank you for all your encouragement and support, for my blog and THE BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. Thanks for being you and for the work that you do.
