I met John and a couple of young ladies, in Hell's Canyon, who were Royalty for the Lewis County Fair. I had to stop and get this picture, for I felt if they could be in Hell's Canyon, and chase their dreams, then you can step out of your comfort zone, by starting today, to fulfill your dreams. Tomorrow may be to late.

See you there!
Tacoma, WA event has been postponed until the Spring/Summer Tour unless we can find a venue in a day. The library is having technical difficulties. That information would have been helpful beofre I drove 24 hours straight from the 2 inches of snow in Wyoming, and the snow in Pendleton, Or. last night, and spent expenses to get there. I am sorry for the speakers who took out time for this day and were scheduled to speak. I will continue to work on the venue through tomorrow, and will keep you posted.
Made it to Tacoma, WA. last night about 12:45a.m had been driving for 24 hours becuase it began to snow in Wyoming, and I did not want to be snowed in. Left Wyoming at 12:30 a.m. yesterday, ran into more snow on the other side of Pendleton, Or. and made it into Tacoma, Wa about 12:45 a.m. this morning.

We want to thank the staff for all of their assistance, especially Manuel.
Dr. Rosenna went to lunch at Sullivan's Steakhouse, across the street, from the library for a very delicious meal. It had a great bar setting, including live musical equipment, and a fireplace patio. Too bad I did not have a date; but the waiter looked promising.
Please go to Sullivan's and try their Scallop and Asian Salad. It was incredible!!
We conferenced at the beautiful Milwaukee Public Library Tuesday, Dr. Rosenna Bakari, Talking Trees, Rhonda Begos, Advocate/Speaker, and myself, Connie Lee in a round table discussion on how to heal, change our society, Jerry Sandusky sentencing, signs to watch for and solutions of child abuse, and much more.
I stopped by El Rancho Grande in New Buffalo, Michigan, for some authentic mexican food; and must I say it was delicious!! If that was not enough to pick up your spirits, then the halloween decorations would have. It was a great dining experience. When we you are traveling across America, dining moments like these are priceless.

I wanted to say thank you to Pastor John and Bill, of the Sonrise Baptist Church in Clarkston, WA. for the donation this morning. I greatly appreciated it! As an all volunteer staff, most of the funds come from my pocket, and the rest through donations, which helps provide travel expenses for the Shattering The Silence Tour and Documentary Project. The tools and resources we provide communities, with local advocates, provides safer environments for children, as well "Delivering Hope To A Hurting World." I have had to learn it is not just my project anymore, and it belongs to all of us. Thus, I need to get out of my own way, and allow God to bless us, and follow His lead, courageously, boldly, and humbly. Our service is to lead by example, not through condemnation and judgment. We are to share the God we know, not religiosity. By saying Thank you Lord for being my solace at night; my one true constant companion; and the lover of my soul. This is the God the world needs to see. It is time to bring His people home. Thanks again! God bless and God speed!
If you missed this moving choral performance, you missed a great event.

Although this webinar is meant mostly for First Responders in law enforcement and child advocacy, if you or your children have experienced ANY traumatic event, it may help you to understand and cope better.
FAST FORWARD TO SLIDE 30--that is the part describing what trauma does to the brain. It is explained in a clear way that non-professionals and victims can understand.
The Neurobiology of Sexual Assault
by Dr. Rebecca Campbell
This webinar is meant to explain how the physiological mechanisms of trauma and the resulting behavioral effects impact sexual assault investigations negatively, causing attrition.
The idea is that if law enforcement understands why the victim is behaving in an uncommon way, they will treat them better and get better evidence, which will hopefully lead to more prosecutions.
Dr. Rebecca Campbell is a researcher who is determined to bridge the gap between research and practice in the real world, hence the title of the series: Research for the Real World.
This is what needs to happen in Family Courts: the empirical research needs to inform proper investigations and adjudications of child sexual and physical assault, rather than the junk science that is too often being used to blame and silence the victims and victim advocates.
If junk science (like Parental Alienation) is being used in your case--OBJECT!!

A Fabulous conference with great collaboration from local advocacy groups.
The FACSA Foundation.org is changing the social stigma of child sexual assault, public policies, conducting current research of community needs and assessment, educating communities on prevention and education of child sexual assault by hosting free conferences with local advocates; filming a documentary on survivors stories across the nation and how to heal from any trauma, not just child sexual assault and human trafficking, for people to thrive, rather than just surviving. It is time we learn to live, rather than merely exist.
The FACSAFoundation.org (Family and Friends Fighting Against Child Sexual Assault) is an all volunteer staff, with a 501 (C) 3 status. We are traveling across the U.S. and Canada, on a 115 city Shattering The Silence Tour and Documentary Project. We will be in each location for 4 days and three nights,
1) filming a documentary of adult child sexual assault survivors, the latest healing therapies, and the latest technologies, and the most effective counseling techniques, which have helped them network, regain their lives and happiness through faith or therapy.
2)We will be conducting research on the current communities needs, which will enable us to design better programs for families and the current needs of our communities.
We are asking academic professionals in pychology, sociology, statistics, churches, and students to assist the FACSA Foundation ShatteringThe Silence Project and this important work, by filling out the downloadable questionnaires and the online polls; or having your students get involved by answering the questionnaire, or sharing it with their peers. The research is a minimum of a year long project. The California Cognitive Behavioral Institute, www.theccbi.com There is a number for counselors to reach in case students or anyone needs to be consulted.
3) We will be hosting free nationwide 115 city Shattering The SIlence Tour conferences, advocating prevention and education of child abuse, child sexual assault, and human trafficking, with local advocates, organizations, survivors, family, and friends to shatter the silence of child sexual assault, saying, "Enough Is Enough, We Will Not Be Silent Any Longer!"

My children’s books are winners of the Evvy award. The Evvy Award is given by the Colorado Independent Publisher’s Association. Some Parts are NOT for Sharing/Algunas Partes No Son Para Compartir and Anger is OKAY Violence is NOT won first place in the political social category
A tragic window of childhood death opens at summer camp within the hills of Appalachia as Mr. Diabolus sexually assaults nine-year-old, Robert. Robert’s brain traumatized, a shame-based gene was switched on as a gentle whisper within Robert’s mind said – KILL YOURSELF. But Robert got lucky one day at school when he met a new girl, Ardee, a happy tomboy of a girl, she renamed him, Bobby, her Bobby. Ardee moves away, years pass as Robert descends into mediocrity. Ardee, now a woman, stumbles back into Robert’s life. A sequence of events unfolds after Ardee convinces Robert to seek help from Dr. Richie when she accidentally finds out about his tragic childhood. Ardee’s motherly instincts kick in and she does what every abused child prays for – she hunts down a predator, she defends her Bobby.
Travel with a pair of friendly fish as they learn about what parts of our bodies we share with others. Children will learn what the boundaries of appropriate touching are in a very non-threatening way. School Counselor Julie Federico begins the imperative conversation of personal boundaries in Some Parts are not for Sharing. Children will enjoy learning about their bodies as they get some important information from a pair of fish. Parents will marvel at the simple straightforward language and use of sea creatures that create this message all children must hear. This book is also available in Spanish. To read the book visit www.juliefederico.com
Some Parts are Not for Sharing is Julie Federico's first book. She wrote it after years of hearing students recount abuse stories in her role as a School Counselor. She is quietly ending childhood sexual abuse one book at a time. Visit www.juliefederico.com to read the book and share the link with others. Her goal is to have this book read to every child, everywhere. This is a child's first book on body safety and is for children 0-7 years old. The book is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to discussing personal boundaries with children. The book is also available in Spanish and Kindle format.
Anger is OKAY Violence is NOT released June 2012. This book teaches children about feeling, families, fish and anger. For readers 0-7 years old. Received rave reviews from Blue Ink Reviews.
One of our very first books as a publishing house was the first installment of Can You Hear Me Now? A haunting look back through the graphic memories of a woman who endured ongoing abuse at the hands of her parents. Originally it was published 'as is'; it fell under our old publishing model which was supported self-publishing. We then released the second in the series about two years ago. As we've grown and morphed, we have decided to launch the final installment as a full book, which incorporates all parts of O'Sullivan's story into one fully edited digital and print book.
This book culminates in the event which brings a degree of closure to her pain, continues to haunt the reader well after they put it down. The beauty of the story is in the redemption. It represents the blossoming of a soul who had lost all faith but has grown out of the muck to be a majestic tree providing comfort and a home for other lost souls. We commend Annie on her strength, her ability to love and her desire to reach out to others who find themselves in similar situations. Read this book and you can't help but evaluate your own life, the way you treat people and what you can accomplish.
Annie O’Sullivan served in the United States Marine Corps and following a hospital stayand two years of disability she went on to log ten years of counseling. She has since earned two Masters Degrees and maintains a rewarding career in land management. Her own successful family has grown to include multiple grandchildren, dogs, cats and several fish - all happy and well.
Against The Odds: Life Is Good.
Kelly Behr Mountain Goddess Unplugged
Mountain Goddess Unplugged was created in 2005 with a drawing created from Kelly’s husband Rick. An image of a whimsical girl relaxing at a hot springs, from there it has grown into numerous drawings of Mountain Goddess doing what ever she wants to,mostly placed in outdoor settings because that’s where Kelly Behr likes to be.
This is a whimsical, non serious set of drawings designed to be enjoyed and to remind us not to take life toseriously. Attempting to look through Mountain Goddess eyes to find humor, beauty andtheability at accept yourself in any situationis the goal. “It’s A State Of Mind” re-iterates that lifeisshort andif you carrylife’sexperiences onyourback, you just get a sore back. Letting life live in you and not on you, is a place where we hope Mountain Goddess can take people.
The challenges of lifeparticularly at young ages, is something we can not go back and change. What we can change is how we view ourselves and how we choose to look at the rest of our life. Believing using humor and laughter brought from Mountain Goddess can help people deal with and accept what challenges life has brought them.
