Sexual Assault | Abuse Awareness Month
April – National Official Sexual Assault and Abuse Awareness Month. Winnipeg- 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…
Manitoba Government fail 8 Million abuse survivors
It seems that when justice fails, we have ‘just us’ to rely on to create the necessary changes to help save others from the heinous sex crimes committed by the perpetrators, predators and pedophiles of the world. We have a major problem when judges do not take the issue of sexual offenses seriously, sending a…
The shortest post I have ever written on this blog site | Karin Hiebert
Writing a book.

I made a sign one day, and put it in the window…hoping someone…
Jeep commercial: Your name video | Jeep is wrong
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 | Not winning
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….

A Survivor- Healing From Child Abuse
2 Year Old on the computer- Need a laugh?
Hair Product Scams -
"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."
