I just wrote a post about it on my blog too! 

As the new affiliate program launches, having meet ups at local libraries for healing support groups is a good idea too!   There are so many possibilities to spread joy.   Thank you for being angels!]]> http://www.armyofangels.net/post/meet-up-at-libraries Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:20:53 -0800 Army of Angels Honor Thy Angels http://www.armyofangels.net/post/honor-thy-angels http://www.armyofangels.net/discussion_posts/list/2/97/1 Angels sometimes hit roadblocks...

As Angels, we have a job to do, and we are an elite group chosen to do that job.  People are going to try and get in our way. People are going to blame the victim. Until they are educated.  You know the drill...

We advocate for victims because many of them feel ashamed, are threatened, or they are children and may not have a voice!  We need to inform children and adults that people care about them, have safe places to go, what is being done to them isn't right, and they can report it! NEVER GIVE UP!!!

We are in this together!  We are an ARMY!  Let us all stay connected and keep the lines of communication open.  If any one of us have suggestions to help one another advocate for survivors, let's hear it!  (Angela doesn't have this awesome site up here for nothing!) 

There is a reason why we are called ANGELS...Let's SOAR Together!]]> http://www.armyofangels.net/post/honor-thy-angels Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:46:45 -0800 Army of Angels You Are Precious!
