The April Carnival is being hosted by ~Enola~ and all the details for submission are listed here: Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse – get your submissions in.
I absolutely love the theme for this month which is Along the Path of Healing…
I’ve noticed that through my progress in recovery from child abuse, I’ve tended to align myself with others that are similarly situated along the path of the healing process. This is not a bad thing, but sometimes it helps to read posts from others that are at different stages than you. Whether it reminds you how far you’ve come or gives you hope to continue plugging along, reading about others’ healing journeys can be inspirational. So, this month, write about your own healing process. If you are toward the “end” (if there is such a thing), what would you say to those just starting out? If you are at the beginning, where do you want to be in 5 years? What does “healed” look like to you?
As always, the post you submit doesn’t need to follow the theme, doesn’t need to have been written especially for the carnival or even need to have been written this month. And you don’t have to be a survivor to submit: All voices are welcome.
You can submit any post that relates to Child Abuse. On the submission page you will be asked to pick a category of – Advocacy & Awareness; Aftermath; Healing & Therapy; In the News; Poetry; or Survivor Stories. Pick onethat fits best but do not be overly concerned about it. There is no “right” answer. I’ll reorganize so that it makes sense.
Submissions are due by April 21st.
