The Surviving Spirit Newsletter September 2022

September 15, 2022 by Michael Skinner

Healing the Mind, Body & Spirit Through the Creative Arts, Education & Advocacy

Hope, Healing & Help for Trauma, Abuse & Mental Health

“Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars”. Kahlil Gibran

The Surviving Spirit Newsletter September 2022 [scroll down for newsletter links]

Greetings folks,

Well…here we are in September and it’s dark at 7:10pm, some leaves are dropping, flowers gone by the wayside and nights are cooler – such is the ever-changing landscape of New England. Personally, I’ve always enjoyed the changes…I’ll complain a little bit, but I do face and embrace the inevitable.

I think of the many changes over the years in my efforts of sharing The Surviving Spirit Newsletter – always a work of passion. I wanted to share resources starting with my first effort – the Survivor Friends and Friends of Survivors e-mail blast – resources for healing relative to trauma, abuse and mental health. I wanted to be inclusive, not exclusive to any one domain – I’ve always seen the commonality we all share – somehow in life we’ve been hurt, we’ve lost, we grieve, we’ve suffered…and yet, still that spark of hope that propels so many to accept the challenges and do their level best to help themselves and others.

At the heart of the newsletter and its morphing into The Surviving Spirit – too simply share what others are doing – we may not always agree but that’s okay.

I know all too well of the dark places and people in this world…But for me, this was about the community of healing out there and to share some of that advocacy, education and caring. All around us are incredible examples of Hope, Healing & Help.

I’m grateful that many of the newsletters are archived at the website – a treasure trove of resources for the inquiring mind. – http://newsletters.survivingspirit.com/index.php
