The Survivors
I want to give special thanks to the
participants of 'Voices of Strength', for without their courage,
I would not have been able to make this dream possible.
Brian
Thank you for your wisdom and your courage to
speak out. As a male survivor you have done a great justice to
all male survivors who may listen to this CD. You have been a
true friend to me for many years now and here's to many more
years of friendship and support.
Louise
Thank you so much for your
strength and your insight into partner rape. Because of you I
have reclaimed a lot of what I felt I had no right to talk about
in my life and I have learned a great deal from you. You exhibit
compassion and hope for all who are in your shoes.
Robin
My dear sweet friend Robin. I will always
cherish your love and support for me. Not only do you give to
the world and to those you love, you gave back to yourself when
you had the strength to tell your story on this project. I will
forever be grateful for your friendship. You are such a
phenomenal woman.
Erin
Thank you for reaching out as you have done
so many times to the millions of survivors you've told your
story to. You are a great inspiration as you spread hope
wherever it is that you go. You're an amazing spirit and I thank
you for never being afraid to take a stand. For reaching out to
not only adults about this issue but also to the children who
need it most. Thank you for writing 'Stolen Innocence' as it has
been a guide to some of the deepest places in my soul.
Lee
Your courage to survive
anything and still come out the winner is so remarkable.
Thank you for taking this journey with me, and for the many
journeys we have already shared together. I look up to you
because you exemplify what a true survivor is. You've fallen
many times but you've always gotten back up again and dusted
yourself off. You've never let one person or one thing stand in
the way of your healing. You are such a blessing to have in my
life.
Catherine
Thank you for reminding me always that I am
never alone on this path to healing my soul. You are a shining
star in a cloudy night sky. You take control of your fears and
you face them head on. I am so proud of you for having the
courage to speak out on this CD. I believe this only one more
step in the countless steps you have taken to heal your life one
day at a time.
Nene
You are one of the sweetest women that I
know. Thank you for the little bit of wisdom you've given to
this project. I have found my light switch and I owe a big part
of that to you for being my guide. Your strength is unparallel.
You're a married woman now with hopes of one day becoming a
Mommy. A dream that was once not so and now you've come so far
and your dreams have come true. You never take a single thing in
life for granted. You are blessed!
Kelly
You are one of the bravest woman I have ever
known. Thank you for your kindness, for your support, for your
voice. Thank you for taking part in this documentary, I see so
many beautiful things for your future. Thank you for being the
Mother and the protector of your children who will grow up
healthy and happy because of you. You are such a wonderful
friend and I can't say thank you enough.
Vera
You are one of the wisest and most
inspirational women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
Words can barely express what you mean to me as a friend, as a
survivor and as a woman. I have learned so much from you and you
have always been a true confidant by my side through every
battle. Thank you for being a part of the CD, thank you for
speaking out, thank you for your strength to tell and for
finding new ways to spark attention in this issue that we hold
so dear to our hearts.
Annaleigh
Thank you for participating in this
documentary with me. I feel it was fate that the two of us met
each other and even more fate that we lived in the same town.
More importantly it was fate that gave you a voice and you've
used that very voice to send a message of hope. To tell the
world not to keep themselves bottled up and chained up and for
that I will be forever grateful.
Donna
Thank you for your spirit and your
understanding. There is certainly no one in this world quite
like you. I've learned so much from your lessons, from your web
site, from your presence on the AS forum. Having you in my life
is a blessing and a miracle. Thank you for joining me on this
CD, your words were so meaningful and full of hope for all.
Natasha
Thank you for your perspective on healing. We
are all part of a great big universe and you have given me so
much back by the words you have expressed on this project and I
want to thank you for that. Thank you for our friendship which
has lasted many years. Thank you for doing the RAINN fundraiser
for me even though we didn't make much for RAINN, we still did
all of the hard work it took to at least help a couple of people
and that was all that mattered and I am so grateful that we can
both share in the understanding that unity and coming together
matters more. You are an inspiration.
George
Thank you for teaching me that healing is a
gift that we have already been given. That all we have to do is
accept it. You are so wise and so strong. Thank you for your
voice on this CD, what you have done for both male and female
survivors has given us all a great perspective on what we need
to do to make a difference in the world.
Clarissa
Thank you Clarissa, for always having the
ambition to rise above any turmoil. You've taught me that dreams
are not worth giving up on no matter who or what may bring me
down. You are far wise beyond your years and you will always
hold a special place in my heart. When I listen to your voice on
the CD, I am always filled with faith and more desire than I had
before. Thank you for taking this journey with me.
