Happy Happy Thanksgiving & Remembering What We Have to be Thankful For
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! To some, Thanksgiving means the beginning of the official countdown to Christmas (Hasn’t that been going on since Halloween?) where stores can officially play Christmas music without outraging their customers due to the fact that Christmas music is being played starting November first. Thanksgiving is the tip of the iceberg to Christmas and to many survivors out there, Christmas can be a very hard time due to families not being very family-like. So this Thanksgiving I am putting out a call to action for not just survivors of abuse and trauma, but for everyone–Remember what you have to be thankful for, not just today, but every day.
I am thankful for a great deal of things, but above all, I am thankful that I am able to blog on this website. I was silent about everything in my childhood throughout my entire childhood and a good amount of my adolescence and to know I have the strength within myself to put it all out there and to not only heal myself, but help others in their healing journey as well, is more than I have ever thought possible.
Check out the Thanksgiving episode of Angela Shelton’s Stirring Up Trouble (I made the website!) where she feeds her mom and her “adoptive family” and talks with her mother about the G spot, female ejaculation and other fun, womanly things that most people feel uncomfortable talking about.
Oh yes, I am also thankful for my G spot, just in case anyone was wondering.
Myself, I went up to a yoga retreat and pretended it wasn’t Thanksgiving. Trying to survive the holidays. I’m actually doing better than years past.
What I AM grateful for is the wonderful community of blogging survivor-thrivers!
I am SO SLOW, but I’m finally getting caught up on some logistical stuff in bloggy land. I put up a link to you on my sidebar (about time, huh?) ;P
I’m also trying to revive the slowly-dying BLOG CARNIVAL AGAINST CHILD ABUSE. More on that later.
