Writing a book.
Those who have read a couple of chapters use words like; “Riveting”, ‘Powerful’, ‘Shocking’, ‘Informative’ and helpful… then there are Sherman Hue’s touching words at the side bar of the blog…
Personally, I call it sad- followed by Survivor.
I made a sign one day, and put it in the window…hoping someone would see it and come to my rescue. No one did.
D.I.D. Did…
Where it all began 'The hopeful help sign'
The Writer. The one thing I know for sure is that a writer, or journalist, blog author and such what you should never do is to start off a post or article with “it’s been a while since I have written or posted anything” so, I won’t start off with that statement, because it simply…
Jeep- it makes me sick—! When I watch the new Jeep commercial about ‘your name’, about how no one can take away your name- I cringe. I want to throw something at the television. I want to write them, or call them up to let them know how wrong they are, how it triggers unbearable…
The Political Debate As I listened and watched the political debate the other night on television, I have to say that it was most disappointing. When there was talk of criminals, justice and domestic violence against women something about that part of the debate really angered me. For one, this gender divide needs to stop….
April is the Official Sexual Assault and Abuse Awareness Month. If it’s not sexual crimes we read about in the papers, or sexual assaults and child abuse stories, we are subjected to reading and hearing about the sex offenders who are getting away with sentences which do not fit the crime of these heinous acts…
There is an epidemic that is killing people. It’s far worse than H1N1. This epidemic may never be under control like Sars, there is no flu shot for prevention and there is little treatment for it. It’s affects can be deadly. Once a person has been affected by this epidemic in any way, or have…
At 16 years of age I became a licensed hair stylist. I couldn’t just be a hair stylist…I had to be the best hair stylist. So… what does an ex hockey champ – Theo Fleury and an ex hair styling champ – Karin Hiebert have in common besides the obvious? Well besides the [obvious] fact…
What makes someone a survivor? What is the definition of Survivor? Here is one link to a couple of [definitions of survivor] < v. sur·vived, sur·viv·ing, sur·vives v.intr. 1. To remain alive or in existence. 2. To carry on despite hardships or trauma; persevere: families that were surviving in tents after the flood. 3. To remain functional or usable: I dropped the…
Photo credit- CBC Winnipeg- rather the province of Manitoba has decided to take legal action against an alleged sexual abuse offender by possibly taking away his home in the first ever law suit against a child molester who had used his home as an ‘instrument‘ to commit his heinous crimes against an 11 year old child….

"Though Karin and I were connected through a previous web marketing organization in the past, I didn't know her story or journey of sexual abuse until recently.
From my recollection, Karin was always eager with excitement to learn the cutting-edge strategies as presented at the same conferences I was speaking at. We hit it off and kept in touch over the years.
When I reconnected with her, it was like we didn't skip a beat.
Karin shared a bit of her story with me, and was trusting to let me read her manuscript of a book she's writing about her story and journey to shed light on the topic of domestic violence and sexual abuse, a topic that definitely needs more awareness and press.
Shocked, appalled and sickened were emotions that flooded my mind and body as I read her manuscript - it's saddening to know many more are affected by this dilemma but feel they don't have a voice in the matter.
It's a miracle Karin's alive to tell her story today, and I'm honored to know her - a woman of creativity, talent, fighting spirit and power.
It was a no-brainer when Karin asked me to recreate an extreme makeover of her site from her Blogger blog to a new and improved platform so she can share her voice and be taken seriously as a writer, a woman who has overcome her past, and delivering hope to those in the darkness of this tragedy.
When Karin's book is published, I urge you to buy it, read it, and pay it forward - someone's life - through six degrees of separation - may be saved by your gesture."
