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!
I had planned to write this week about how little moments of joy can be such a huge help in our healing as survivors. I had planned to explain further why I chose my Irish heritage and the ability to enjoy life even in the midst of horrible suffering as the theme for this month’s…
Man I’m glad it’s Friday. I’ve been working on so many different things this week that I’ve completely lost all track of what day it is, which makes the week seem really, really long! You know, because like Weds night I wasn’t thinking “two more days until the weekend”, I was just getting through Weds…
The conversation went well, he was shocked to find out about what all had happened, and had some questions, but it was good to get it out. On the other hand it went later than I expected so we didn’t get to go see the baby. But on the third hand, that’s probably a good…
Pin I’ve done therapy before, but this time it’s different. It’s been physical therapy for my knee injury. On the one hand, though, the parallels are interesting, but on the other, the perceptions are totally different. It shouldn’t be that way. First, the similarities: Physical therapy takes time. You don’t go in and get “fixed”. In…
My wife has a description of what we call my neice’s “full body smile”, and she’s right. It’s something that far too many adults don’t know how to do anymore. We’ve really lost the ability to simply feel the unbridled joy of a particular moment. We tend to think of people who do it as…
It’s amazing how much stress I can feel when any change might be coming in my life, even when it’s good change! I feel run down, tired, and a little under the weather, all because I’m using up all of my energy worrying about how some things are going to work out. Yes there’s potential…

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.
