Please help Violence UnSilenced if you can

I got word this week that Coco nominated Violence UnSilenced for SocialLuxe Lounge’s Most Inspiring Blog. I’m not very good at pimping these kinds of things but when it comes to spreading the word about Violence UnSilenced I swallow hard and I do it so here I am. I know that there are still all kinds of survivors who don’t yet know about what’s going on here, men and women and kids who have stories to tell that will bring healing to themselves and countless unknown others. The winner of Most Inspiring Blog will be recognized at BlogHer — this seems like a fantastic opportunity to reach a whole bunch of people and I’m so grateful to Coco for the nomination.

I'm going to try AGAIN! I never get the D*MN VOTE button to come up. Tried two days in a row.

Quoth Tony Soprano: Does everything have to be hard?! :-)

I voted for this site, too. I have been blessed in that I have not had to deal with violence in my life, but I know many who have. This is for them, and for all who are courageous and post their stories here.

xoxo

Voted, Tweeted. Done and done. You guys are doing well in voting!

I voted for you! This is an honor!

You're more than welcome sis. Win, place or show, the people who have shared their stories here deserve this award. They're an inspiration to us all.

And so are you kiddo.

You want proof? I know a couple of bloggers who are working this as hard as anybody. I'm sure they're not alone, they're just the two I know about. So Amias? Amorous Rocker? You ladies rock. And your efforts are deeply appreciated.
