Thank you for all of the warm welcomes and kind thoughts. It's much appreciated.

PS- Blossums, if you mean the first avatar, no, I didn't make it. The symbolism was just something very identifiable. I generally have always had to just be ok, whether I was or not. The current macro photo of a flower is part of my photography, though. =)

Hey Everyone...My name is Amy [Rebecca is my middle name] I am a 5 year survivor of sodomy along with assault and battery. I have currently decided to become a Sexual Assault Advocate Volunteer for the Sexual Trauma Center in my hometown as a way to help me continue my healing process. I am finishing my college degree that I recently started before my attack as of now in Elementary Education at Anderson University. If you would like for me to place my facebook link onto this site please let me know or feel free to just send me a message.

Hi Amy Welcome to AS

That is really amazing that you have decided to help at the sexual trauma center, really amazing. I am sure that it will bring you a lot of satisfaction to be helping others while you heal too.

It might be really cool if you would consider posting about your experiences with this sometime, maybe in the Volunteering and Activism forum (only if you feel able to of course) I know I would be very interested to hear about it

If you want to, there is a post in Simply Life forum called Myspace (it's near the top of the forum, one of the pinned topics) - it was set up for people who want to connect via Myspace, but most people use facebook now don't they, so people use it more for facebook now

All the very best and hope to see you around the forums
