April’s Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse: Got a Submisson?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

If you missed last month’s edition of the carnival, or just want to know what the heck I’m talking about, you can check it out over at Tracie’s.

This month, I will be doing the honors and hosting it right here! Of course, since this is Child Abuse Prevention Month, I am really looking forward to getting entries, and am especially interested in hearing how we can better get the word out about child abuse, how to prevent it, how to support survivors, and the damage it does everyday to millions of children and adults.

I hope that you will consider submitting a post this month, and sharing your ideas about what it means to be a survivor!

When you’re ready, just head over and fill out the form Tracie has setup to take entries. The deadline will be midnight my time (US Eastern) on April 25th, and the carnival will be posted on Friday, the 27th. I look forward to reading entries from the great people who submit on a regular basis, and some new folks!

New Newsletter Option

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

What I have been experimenting with, and which might interest some of you, is the new email newsletter tool that Twitter has made available, called Revue. It’s a little more hands-on than the current newsletter, so while I plan to send it out every Friday, I can’t swear to you that will always happen. On the other hand, I get to add some more stuff to this newsletter because it’s more hands-on. So I can pull in some links from other sources, drop in some text, etc. In essence, I’ll be experimenting with it, but you can expect that the goal will remain the goal I’ve always had with my blog, writing, and sharing interesting things related to surviving child abuse, and mental health issues.

You can subscribe, and take a peek at some of my recent experimental issues over at my Revue profile. I hope you’ll consider subscribing, and sharing with your friends if you find it useful!

OK, I had to switch

OK, I had to switch hosts over at my domain so things here got a bit slack while I was dealing with all of that over there. Now that I’ve got that settled into it’s new home, I’m going to try and republish this blog over in a directory on that domain and just link…

A Perfect Example of Why I Won’t Repost

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

Anyone who spends as much time as I do online, and who is an outspoken survivor, inevitably gets bombarded with lots of requests to share information to their readers. Like most of you, I get a lot of those, and if it’s something that I think survivors might benefit from, I’m more than happy to….

It’s Hard to Have Hope Right Now

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

We need each other now, as always. We need our community. We need our connections. We need to know that we are not alone in this. So, let me, in the midst of my own exhaustion, do this one thing. If you’re feeling hopeless, angry, anxious, depressed, etc. because of the state of the world, or the state of your job, the losses you’ve suffered, the issues you are fighting for, the struggle to hang on to hope, you are not alone. I am with you. I see you. I share your exhaustion, frustration, anger, and your need for rest. Whether we’ve talked about this personally, or if you’re simply holding this all in and trying to keep it together, I see you. I’m with you. We are together in this, and we should share the little bits of hope with each other. They may be hard to see, but the more of us who are dedicated to looking for them, and sharing them, the more of it we’ll draw strength from.
