We have a Blogoversary coming up! November marks one full year from the time we began this dynamic community. One faithful day, I sat down with the amazing Lisa Flowers of Flowers Media Matters to discuss ways to seek out recourse for the traumatic birth I encountered in 2011. Naturally, she said, "Well, why don't you blog about it?"
So, I begrudgingly did so and boy, I couldn't have even fathomed how huge this would truly turn! I'm so grateful to her, our community, the professionals and peers I have met along the way and above all, God for putting me on this path! Here we are, a year later.
That's exactly what I want to know! At the advice of fellow blogger, Cristi of Motherhood Unadorned, I have a project just for you! I would love to see more posts of healing or thanks, that's your job! Every Birth Trauma Survivor, myself included, that I've met has gone through a period of despair, hopelessness, no one understands, there's no hope for healing, etc. You get the drift. That sounds harsh, but it's true. And it's our job to lift these souls back up, brush off the dust and tell them it will be okay. It sucks for now, but you're not alone and we're going to help you through this! Your Assignment: Be a Ray of Hope Your Task: Send us a photo, blurb, poem, artwork, song or blog post (stories) Send one, or send all! Send whatever you would like to offer up as a Ray of Hope for another Birth Trauma Survivor. These items can include the answers to questions such as:
Be a Ray of Hope submissions will be featured during the month of November (in the spirit of thankfulness as it is close to Thanksgiving for those of us in the United States), particularly during our Blogoversary which will be celebrated the week of Sun. Nov. 10 through Sat. Nov. 16! They will be placed on the website permanently so when new survivors find us, they will hopefully be able to find the hope they need to begin their journey. We will also have special guests during social media chats and of course, that special, top-secret announcement or two! Please send submissions to [email protected] or through Facebook. Much love and many smooches (AND BROWNIES) from me, Momma Trauma. You all amaze me everyday!
