-- Quote of the Day --
“What worked for me is to
have a date night where we could get away with each of the children where I
participated in an activity that they enjoyed – allowing them to have that
quality time where you can focus on one another. …We have to do a lot of
education on our part – because when we see a person with a disability we
overcompensate or we feel so overwhelmed that we don’t know how to respond to
them. So help people become educated about what they can and cannot do. … …Everybody
has a talent – tap into that talent and give them the opportunities and the
tools to help them become successful. …If you are out there dealing with
children with special needs remember that they are capable of wonderful success
– don’t look at them for what they cannot do; look at what they can do. Nurture
that and help them develop that into a skill.”

-- Conscious Living Event --
The
Holocaust of Innocence Tour and Documentary Research Project will tour the U.S. advocating prevention of child sexual assault, researching the current
needs of our communities, and producing a film documentary of the process. The title
Holocaust of Innocence refers to the time someone is sexually assaulted, for they
will never be the same again, having trust and emotional issues the rest of
their lifetime.
The most recent event was held yesterday (in Virginia) and this tour will continue across the U.S. into December (in Arkansas). To find out more about the locations for their
presentation closer to your area, or to request them to drop in your community –
