Domestic Violence Vigil
A proud presence. Some very special people make a stand at the Domestic Violence Vigil on October 1st. Every “nine seconds” an act of violence is committed against a loved one/partner. To the victim, it is an indescribable hell with no safe way out! Help create awareness in your community. Contact your local shelter and find out what you can do. You can make a difference…we all can.
Blessings.

I know the pain of domestic violence. Thank you for helping to break the cycle. The more we understand about this horror, the more compassionate we will become for its victims.

Hi Lesley,
You know, I thought about your question regarding my daughter and I don’t think I have a problem with it. Yes it is her and she is beautiful!!! I agree wholeheartedly!!!
Supporting Domestic Violence Awareness is so very important. The myths and stigmas are crippling and can cause more pain, fear and tragedies. Speaking out sometimes doesn’t feel like enough, but every little bit helps.
Blessings,
Dawn
P.S. That is my husband too!

I always thought this Oscar acceptance speech (for “Mystic River”) by actor Tim Robbins had a great message for abused people: “In this movie, I play a victim of abuse and violence and if you are out there and are a person that has — had that tragedy befall you, there is no shame and no weakness in seeking help and counseling. It is sometimes the strongest thing that you can do to stop the cycle of violence. Thank you.”
