This month's Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse had 21 articles submitted. With this carnival, you can submit more than one article at a time.  I usually submit three articles each month.  I have submitted as many as five a few times.  This month we didn't have a specific topic.  It is always good to hear some new voices each month.  I appreciate the courage that it takes to submit one of your blog articles for the first time to a new audience.  I hope that you will join me in going to From Tracie blog to support the bloggers who do submit articles to this very worthwild Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse.

The Expressive Arts Carnival No. 13: Group Word Cloud is also up and running for July at Mindparts blog.  This month's topic was word clouds done by 11 entries.  Each month Paul from Mindparts blog hosts Expressive Arts Carnival.  The 11 submitters came up with 33 words, to use Paul's words, "to write about someone who has taught you something about healing." using three words along with a color.  Below is the link for Expressive Arts Carnival No. 13.

I want to thank Tracie and Paul for both taking the time and effort to run these two Blog Carnivals.  Both provide very different ways for survivors of child abuse to find to express their feelings and thoughts about their experiences with child abuse and healing.

Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse - February 2011 Edition Is Out

Paul at Mind Parts blog is hosting two carnivals this month.  One is Expressive Arts Carnival No. 8: Your Truth which is a collection of art used this month to "create an image of your truth," to use Paul's words.  I hope that you will go and check out this brilliant collection of art work using different mediums done by survivors of abuse.  Thanks Paul for creating this carnival and hosting it each month.

The second carnival that Paul is hosting is Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse - February 2011.  The theme for February for this carnival was also truth.  This month's carnival has 20 submissions for you to read, two of which are mine.  The Blog Carnival Against Child Abuse is a monthly event.  It is open to anyone who wants to share their stories of childhood abuse in any of its many forms whether it be physical, emotional, verbal or spiritual abuse.  They are all open topics for discussion.  Child abuse is a serious issue in the world today.  The purpose of both of these carnivals is to help raise awareness of child abuse so that we can eventually stop any future generations of children from being abused.  Some of these child abuse issues are difficult to read but living it was worse.
