Hello! Welcome to my blog today, and my first attempt at “vlogging” — or blogging in a video format. Today’s vlog focuses on raising awareness of and finding hope after sexual assault and/or abuse. April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, and so I hope this video gives someone who needs it the encouragement they might need.
If you need to talk to someone about you or someone you know who’s been through sexual assault, please click on the RAINN button below the video for help and information. Or, share this with a friend who needs it.
Recovery is possible.
You are beautiful.
Indeed, you are a rare gemstone, full of beauty in every angle.
Receiving a gift is like getting a rare gemstone; any way you look at it, you see beauty refracted. Proverbs 17:8 The Message
So, without further ado, here’s my video blog. I’m sure it’s too long. My hair keeps blowing in my face. And it confirms the fact that I’m pretty much a Great. Big. Nerd.
Yes, Amy. You are a nerd. Snort! But you are also adorable/beautiful/strong/wonderful! And I’m honored to call you a friend.
The honor’s all mine.
No nerd my friend, just real. THAT, is a beautiful thing!
Thank you, dear Tami! Love you, girl!
Rocks! My stepdad loves rocks. I don’t know much about them, but I sure learned a lot watching this. Super interesting, Amy. Makes me want to write about a character who collects rocks.
Thanks a bunch, Katie! One of my characters collects fossils. It is good story fodder!
Amy, your heart comes across in person (well, almost inperson) as it does in just reading your words. You are truly a beatiful soul. And, I love how you see God in everything you do and how you make positive, even the darkest times.
Bless you, my friend:-)
Beauty refracted! That’s what you are. I love you sharing this. So cool to see the lace rock and what you communicated with the geode. Sending love! Got to me, lady!
