Hi,

As a fellow survivor I just wanted to applaud all your efforts!

Believe it or not, the more you talk about it, eventually the crying stops. Yay! for taking the steps and going to therapy! So many victories on your part!

Consider the Thistle

Thank you for giving this book and this community of women a wide audience. I work in fundraising for a nonprofit, and these are very difficult times with donations severely impacted by the recession. Fortunately, violence against women is one of the areas that will receive funding under the Obama Stimulus bill, through the Department of Justice. I love the metaphor of the thistle and will buy this book!

I love the line, all women aim for peace, self esteem and a successful path.
We all do, albeit that the starting point from where we are coming from is different.
But going for the same things unite us and makes us understand and recognize each other, no matter our circumstances.
That is what I love about these projects, they allow dignity and make us unite rather than talking about them and us.
Good move to ask for comments, this really deserves attention.

Quite inspirational

There are quiet and not so quiet little victories, and itis nice some publicity is flowing there way.

Someone I know in London has helped bring change there with DV, and we've talked on occasion about those brought into the country specifically to serve as prostitutes. It is estimated that in London alone, there are around 750 such establishments.

When one sees a number like that...

yay for all those involved in this programme, and I do believe this is a bood I'd like to read.

Love the opening of this post

Denise — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:23:27 -0500

I've actually read the post three times, and each time I find myself wishing I'd have thought to open a post that way. It's just excellent. It also makes me want to read the book and I did put it on my wish list the first time I read the post.

I'm in recovery in theAl-anon program. I'm currently working step 4 which I talk about briefly in my blog. I think your post is great! These steps can help anyone anywhere no matter what they are going through. And if they have a problem I highly recommend they seek help.
