Hello!!! I hope your summer has been safe and excellent! I haven't posted here in months. I was broadcasting on YouTube in April and then started to become ill. I still don't know what it was, and my doctor couldn't diagnose it. I took time off and then left my position at work because I could not physically do the job role that they wanted me to take on. I've been off all summer trying to get physically better and things are improving. My cat passed away in June so it has also been a sad time for me. She was with me and my husband Cecil since she was a young cat and she made it to 18 years of life with me! I miss her very much. It's been four years since my husband Cecil Tornerup went to Heaven. I miss him every moment of every day. I have been busy looking for work. I'll be cleared to work by the end of August so I'll just keep looking. It's also been an exciting summer for me as my best friend, Publisher and Best Selling Author Donna M. Kshir asked me to be part of a project she is working on. I'll have more details regarding that book when it comes out in September, 2022. I was honoured she asked me to be in the book and I'm very excited to see the published copy when it's available. I also have several books I'm finishing and added two new books to start writing so I'll be excited to share them with you here when they are done. I'll be hosting two new podcasts on Anchor.FM. One is mine and I'll share the link here, and the other is a weekly podcast I'll be co-hosting. What a great honour! I am excited, and looking forward to the rest of this summer. I'm working on getting healthier each day as they come and I hope to be around a while to continue the mission to create Child Abuse Prevention Awareness and complete my other projects. I wish you all the very best for the summer! Take good care of yourselves!!
https://anchor.fm/author-laurie-ann-smith https://www.flickr.com/photos/lausmi52207/ Join Donna Kshir and Lee Roberts as they interview AU4H Radio's Volunteer Program Coordinator Advocate, Author Laurie Ann Smith. This year marks a 10 Year Anniversary and Re-Launch of Laurie's books - A Life of Death: The Redemption, La Veta Juvies and One Child Abuse Survivor 2 Another-The Journey. All proceeds from Laurie's books go to fund programs to stop and prevent child abuse. Laurie Ann Smith is a popular online radio talk show host, 5 x published author and voice for those whose voices were silenced due to abuse; whose lives were destroyed by abuse. Her only hope is to promote public awareness and education to help stop the cycle of abuse, child abuse, and domestic violence. Her mission is to be "one more voice" among many to help stop child abuse and to make this world a better place for everyone. I am the Alberta Ambassador for NAASCA.org, National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse. I haven't been able to do much other than be an online presence due to Covid-19 and my own health issues that have been a problem since last fall. I have been able to do some online advocacy with NAASCA on our own SCAN Show, (Stop Child Abuse Now!) on Blog Talk Radio. We do 5 shows a week, Monday through Friday and feature Survivor-Professionals and Survivors sharing their own personal stories of surviving child abuse. I will be a returning guest this Friday, October 16th. We will be discussing the topic of Second-hand Domestic Violence and Child Abuse, Family Violence and all that goes along with it. I will be sharing some of my own coping strategies that I've used in my healing journey that have made a difference and worked for me. We are all different, and all at different places in our healing journey's so what works for me, may not work for you. I always remind my fellow survivors to just keep reaching out and never give up! We deserved so much better, we did not deserve to be abused. I hope you can join us on the show or you can always listen to the archive and many other archived shows that we have done. Wishing you all the best. Stay safe!!
https://www.blogtalkradio.com/naasca/2020/10/17/stop-child-abuse-now-scan--2510 I thank all of my listener friends who have kept me company and listened to what I had to say for 10 years. It's time to sign off and say goodbye. I hope you will reach out and get the help you need and continue on your healing journey's as I will continue on mine. Remember, never give up looking for that hope, that help, that you so deserve. Domestic Violence and Child Abuse - A Tribute Video to My Brothers is a vlog I recently did to honour my brothers who suffered horribly as children, being abused by our parents, and then went on to live such horrible lives as young adults. My brother Chesley was murdered at age 19, and my brother Rob committed suicide at age 33. My brother Howard committed suicide at age 35. My message is clear! No matter what you have been through, or what you are going through now, do not give up! Reach out and get the help you so deserve! Win this fight with me. Tonight we will look at Positive Reinforcement, Self-Care, Coping Mechanisms, and Meditation for the day. Join me for a walk to healing, to wholeness, to learning how to care for ourselves. I am a survivor of child abuse, child sexual abuse, neglect and did not learn how to care for myself, how to cope, or how to change the learned toxic behaviours I was taught while growing up abused from birth. I had to begin learning all of these very important pieces to living a healthy lifestyle after I began my healing journey. I have been on my healing journey since May 22, 2007 and there are many times that I forget to do the things I need to do to self-care, nurture, and cope on a daily basis. Join me for a quick chat as I share with you what I'm using and working on for my own healing journey. What works for me, may not work for you, but I will share resources and information that you can take a look at and see if any of the information might be useful for you. Whatever you do, do NOT GIVE UP! Keep reaching out, keep looking for that help, that hope and stay alive! Win this fight with me! Walk with me toward complete and total restoration.
