When Blogging Becomes a Chore Get Inspired

I have not been inspired to blog for several weeks. I do not think it is any coincidence that my last blog post was in memory of my brother.  I had not even realized that until I was inspired today to finally get back to writing.

Sitting in my office this morning contemplating some witness interviews for a new sex abuse case, something hanging on my wall caught my eye.  A poster size thank you card from a case I worked back in 2002. Twenty men came to a mediation involving a very large sex abuse case. I investigated this case as the head paralegal. I also attended the mediation to offer support to these men and their families.  As I read some of the messages they wrote I felt a tremendous amount of gratitude and love to these wonderful people. I want to share some of these quotes with you today.

"Thank you for your help, you have given me and others a chance to heal and grow."

"Thank you for being apart of our army and going to battle with us."

"...thank you for your roles in our healing."

"...thank you for wielding the mighty swords of justice..."

"To all of you who have done so much for so many of us-you will never know all the ways in which your hard work, your time, your encouragement and your support have changed our lives for always."   

As I read this poster today I finally feel the inspiration I need to kick start my blogging. I can not list all of the  "thank you comments", but I can say thank you back.  I can say thank you everyday by continuing to fight for justice when someone needs a champion. I can continue to shine a light on the crimes done to adult survivors of childhood sex abuse.
