Blog Talk Radio and the contest winner

1. Thanks for your patience waiting for the results of last week’s contest, the ones I said I’d post Monday. I am traveling and my Internet connection is limited — but, without further ado, congratulations to Bessie.Viola, you are the winner of my favorite necklace! It was generously donated by my friend, Elizabeth, and created by Robin Ann Jewelry, as seen on NBC’s Ann Curry. It says ‘Peace’ on one side, and on the other (facing a person’s chest) it says ‘at home.’ It is strung on deep purple suede, and valued at $84. It’s pretty awesome. Please email me at maggie[at]violenceunsilenced[dot]com with your mailing address.

2. The women of Blog Talk Radio’s Chicks Who Chat, Classy Jen and Sugar Jones, graciously invited me on their show yesterday to talk about Violence UnSilenced. I was almost paralyzed with nerves, but they were very sweet and I think (hope!) it was a good discussion. You can listen to or download the show here.

3. Look for new survivor stories every Monday and Thursday, and thank you again for the massive support.

Thank you for visiting Violence UnSilenced, a speak-out platform for survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and sexual abuse.
