Thank you to everyone that took the time to send such kind and supportive notes regarding yesterday’s post. It means so much to know that there are people that feel as strongly as I do about those kind of situations and, especially, that so many of you come here. I’m so thankful and proud to know that if nothing else, this site manages to attract good people.
It even encourages me to know that, though you might not have sent an email or left a comment on another post, that you might have read my experience and somehow thought about your own. It’s that small effect that really means something. Awareness and having confidence in what you know to be right are what causes change. They are the things that stand out and make you stand up, even amongst fear and doubt. I don’t mean to sound preach-y, I am just very touched and very proud of people.
Finally, thanks to those of you who asked what organizations I’ve worked with and how you could look into getting involved. I know that feeling of wanting to do something but not knowing where to start, and I am so thankful that you took the time to ask.
In addition, I do not attempt to explain things like this, but it turns out April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

Thank you all, again.
