Turn on the Lights

A helpful short guide! What would you add?

Due to COVID we were unable to hold our walk this year. We wanted to make sure that everyone stayed safe and because we are so small, it was harder to organize. We will hopefully be doing something in the near future Until then - there is a Take Back the Night walk that we were proud to put some input into. It takes place at 7pm tonight and you can register (for free) online! It is a Charlottetown based for those interested!

PEIs rape and crisis centre also shared this as they open up in-person counselling again.

Back in February I found out I was expecting my first child - shortly thereafter we were shut down due to COVID. I used that time to focus on how blessed I was after trying to conceive for a couple years. I initially prayed it would be a girl. A little mini me. In June we found out that we were having a girl. I was so overjoyed at first. I was so excited at the idea of having a little girl that everything else in my world seemed so small. As time went on I found that with e...very positive amazing thought I had, negative ones came with them. How could I trust anyone with her? Who would I let watch her for an evening? What could happen when I’m not around? How can I protect her from all the scary things that go on? How do I teach her that I will always believe her and she can come to me for anything? These paralyzing questions would keep me up at all hours of the night. I assumed that after taking time for myself and continuing my own healing of the abuse I endured that I would be more than prepared to handle these types of things. Ha. I was not - and I still don’t have all the answers prepared. What I did realize was that even when I think everything is put back together, new challenges and surprises come and I realize I still have my own work to do. That takes time and that’s okay. I also have to prepare myself to teach our daughter that her body is hers, that she can come to me for anything in this world, that I will always whole heartedly believe her and to trust my own instincts.

I watched a video this morning of a child screaming that she didn’t want to go to her mothers house because her mothers boyfriend was abusing her. There is currently a GoFundMe page set up by her father and step mother to try and get custody of the little girl. ... I will include the news article in a seperate post for those who want to read up on this.

A great way to give back
