Happy Easter to alle the followers of The Christ Jesus! May the return of your Lord bring you peace and happiness. smiley

Also, welcome alle to National Child Abuse Prevention Month! We have many events scheduled for alle this month, so dig about in the forums and see what's going on and do join us. We would like to invite you to also change your DP (profile pic) to one showing your support of National Childhood Abuse Month, the info for that can be found in this link. www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/TraumaticExperiencesCommunityCreativeExpressionsCorner_1170/NationalChildAbusePreventionMonthApril2018_125084/

Alle cultures and faiths celebrate the spring (spring in northern climates fall in southern). For those of my faith, the spring Holiday was Herthas Dag on March 21st (The Spring Equinox, Heliths Dag for those celebrating The Fall Equinox in the southern world) Celebrating the return of Odinn/ the return of the Sun to the North World. So now we know what Christians and Northern Pagans hold as a spring holiday, is there something special done in your faith or culture at this time of year? Perhaps something only you and your family do? Please do share, I love to learn of new cultures and faiths. Festivus for the rest of us perhaps? Does this work in the spring too? smiley

Spring holidays or not, please do pop in and tell us how you are doing. This is a safe place and it belongs to alle of you, please feel free to use it! wink

*hugs* back, just missing my niece is all sad

"Mission Finding Peace"

I may have seen much cruelty
But I still seek out the beauty
The small things that fill my mind with wonder
And I can sit and just ponder
Looking out into the night sky
Allowing me to see through new eyes
A shift from the dark and negativity
A unique ability
To see with a childlike curiosity
A drive and a hike
Now to seek
A new cliff
That will me with bliss
Finding myself deep inside of nature
Picturing a new brighter future
This is the me
That I can see
Is possible to be loved
Someone who will rise above
The hate that ive been shown
Is an unknown
Here out in my safe space
I can find my place

Happy Easter to all!!

My family is Evangelical Christian, and they celebrate Jesus. I went to church with them this morning.

I am spiritual, and I celebrate the return of the spring (although it hasn't felt much like it here -- it's been rather chilly!), and I enjoy the spiritual message of tending to seeds, and growth forthcoming smiley

@Raveninthelabrynth My family celebrates Easter, even if none of us are religious at all. So today my parents organised a easter hunt for my siblings and me. I always love this! I think Easter is one of my favourite holidays.

Today is Easter and for that it's a reminder I have reason to be very thankful and filled with a lot of joy and deep down I am. At the same time today I am feeling very discouraged.

Im so sick of feeling like my feelings and experiences don't matter. I'm so sick of feeling invalidated. I'm sick of taking risks of opening up to people and having it happen over and over. All it does is reinforce the belief I have I can't trust people. I had yet another experience like that today. I'm starting to feel like it's just me. Just once I'd like to meet someone capable of validating my feelings - don't try to fix me.., just listen and care.

Sorry guys but that's honestly how I'm doing today. I've had better days. I've had worse. At least tomorrow's a new day which is something to look forward too.

@ArianaMay Hugs Ariana, we alle run into that with many people out there. With many topics we must find those of kind whom do understand and have experienced similar. I kind of see it like you don't go to a football game to talk about the Balet.

Luckilly we have this awesome community here that alle care much and are incredible at supporting each other.

We see you. We hear your woes hon, and we offer a hug and a cookie. smiley
