Domestic Violence Awareness Month
Monday, October 1st, 2007Today, I’ll be observing a moment of silence for those who suffer at the hands of one who should love them (spouse, parent, partner, child). I urge you to do the same. Think about how this might impact your own life… Many people may not even be aware that a friend or coworker is a victim of domestic violence. Along with rape, it is one of the fastest growing and most under-reported crimes in the world.
So, reflect a moment, observe silence, and then get up and out, and DO something about it. What am I doing? I’ll tell you. October is when I traditionally make my largest donations to charities who help those in, or recently escaped from, an abusive situation. And this year, I’m offering everyone the chance to help.

Get out there and help, and you send a clear message to the perpetrators that society will not stand silently by, any longer.
