Mr. Scabs always laughs and says, "what does that even mean?"
But, ya know, I'm in the weeds! There's a pile of work I'm wading through like emails that need responding, "be brave" necklace orders that need sent and other bits and pieces that fall into the life of being "Scabs". The truth is, I probably won't do an ounce of it until this weekends Camp Scabs is tucked away and put to bed.
Plus summer is almost here and I am dying to do nothing. Hot temps, swimming pools, hammocks, salted limeade are my fav.
For so long, I felt abandoned, alone. Watching resources and help and support unfold right in front of us is a literal answer to those nights and days we ate oreos and screamed for help into our pillows (that counts as a prayer). There are a few things coming up that I'd love to pass along to y'all.
SA Lifeline Conference in SLC May 10 --- I've met the couple that runs this; it's an inspiring story and Rhyll is so classy! Read about the details here from my friend Alicia.
Coalition to End Exploitation Summit in our nations capital Washington DC May 16-17 ---Looks phenomenal and I'd love to met Shelly Lubben! What an amazing woman.
Addo Recovery, who has given us so much needs our help! They are raising funds to update and improve their FREE online betrayal trauma class for women. Click here to pay it forward and then share their message everywhere.
Togetherness Project Phoenix April 26 --- What a great lineup! Including my therapist, Mariylin Tenney. GO MARILYN! She's a lady who's been through it too.
Anything else?
xoxo,
Scabs

This is literally another answer to our pillow biting prayers. All those that support us {pastors, bishops, parents, stake presidents, counselors, BFFs, sponsors, family members, even ourselves because we do a lot of supporting each other... pretty much anyone in our circles} can get free education and real life tools to be more effective. Isn't this what we have been asking for?
Each month a different topic will be covered:
April: Understanding and assessing the addiction

We're excited to announce the beginning of a new online webinar training series focused on understanding pornography and sexual addiction and its impact on individuals, relationships, teens, and families. Trainings will be held once a month, being conducted by Dr. Kevin Skinner, Addo Recovery's Clinical Director and author of best selling addiction recovery book Treating Pornography Addiction: The Essential Tools For Recovery.
The first of these online trainings will be held on Friday, April 18th at 1pm MST. During this training we will take an in-depth look at working with and advising someone who is struggling with pornography or sexual addiction. Specifically we will be discussing:
1. What questions should you be asking
2. What are the signs of addiction
3. Do they need more than you can give
4. When and where can you send them for proper help
5. What should the expectations be for recovery
