2009 Update

Greetings Beautiful Souls...


Amazingly... three years... floating on pennies and we are still here!  2009 has been a year of product development, victim recovery support, viral promotions and healing!  We've come a long way since our early days of beach vigils and paper flyers but we are still pushing for this cause.  I'm steadily healing, now managing to have 4-5 hours a day on my feet... an increase from 1 hour per day.


We have been provid...

What's Stopping You?

Do you remember the story of the person on the roof top in a flood who prayed to God to save him? Three rescuers went by and shouted out to the man to jump in and the man refused saying his God would save him, and then, when the man drowned and went to heaven God said he sent three rescuers to save him... you all may have heard this story several times, it was even told in the movie, The Pursuit of Happiness. So now I present a twist to a similar story in hopes that we all wash this ...

Forward Creation

Each moment of each day is added creation. We, are a people partaking in that effort, procreating with every breath we take... adding to the creative forces in our uniquely ordained ways.

If you could, take a moment to consider, that all life from the beginning of time has come up to this moment, inside of you... inside of each of us. All of creation has come up to this moment! It is amazing how far we've come not only as a people but as a world. The possibility that nothing exists...

The past

Posted by REM at 08:04 AM on May 26, 2008 Comments comments (0)
have a wish. I wish people would stop telling other's to let go of the past. What on God's green earth kind of advice is that? The whole "Letting go" phenomenon must come to an end. There is no letting go of the past! To try and convince people to do so is not only self destructive to the victim but to our society as a whole. How do you let go of something that has a hold on you? Let someone grab you by the neck and you tell yourself to let go of their ... Read Full Post »

Left hand vs Right hand

Posted by REM at 08:10 AM on May 23, 2008 Comments comments (0)
Greetings,
 
A questions dawned on me yesterday.  I asked myself... "If your left hand was male and your right hand was female, and you, being female, favored your right hand, would you tie up your left hand in order to remain productive in this world simply because your left hand was male?" 
 
Today, we women have created a "man made" women's issue that goes beyond what we intended when the battle fo...

A Poem for Heather

Posted by REM at 07:30 AM on May 19, 2008 Comments comments (0)
Dear Sis,
tonight I light a candle
your life I love and miss
sometimes I can't handle

The reality that you're not here
here, yes, but not so much
I wish to hear you full of cheer
to shop, do our nails and such

Remember on the bus that day?
we sang real loud to the driver
I still hear your voice that way
loud like mine only then, liver

Remember how I took those beatings for you?
I'd take 10,000 more for another hug
beating done you'd comfort...

From the forward to "The Mosaic; Shattered Pieces" by Ms. Rachel E. Milano

"I wanted to be an open example of the
positive statistics that do exist throughout our nation. Our
society highlights the negative statistics when it should
delight in the positive ones. It says that if you were a victim
of sexual assault as a child, you are more likely to become
a sex offender; if you were raised by an alcoholic you are
more likely to become an alcoholic, et cetera. I write this
book standing for all of those who challenge themselves to
prove the least ...
