I'm A Bad Blogger
I know, I know, it's been a LONG time since I've written. I apologize for slacking off in my blog-writing duties. But I'm making an end-of-the-year resolution to stick to my weekly updates from here on out!
I've been busy during these last few weeks. I was in Yuma for three days in the middle of November, and that was a blast. I spoke to two different rotary clubs, as well as a Yuma City Council meeting. It was a great opportunity to share my platform with the people of Yuma. Everyone down there was so friendly and welcoming… it was hard to leave!
While in Yuma, I had the opportunity to tour Amberly's Place, which is an all-in-one care center for victims of sexual assault or abuse. It's an amazing facility. What makes it so great is that it provides a location for forensic testing and speaking with the police and detectives in the same building. That way, victims don't have to travel all over the place after enduring an already traumatic experience. It was very inspiring to learn what Amberly's Place is doing for the people of Yuma. For more information about this great facility, please visit amberlys-place.com.
I've also spoken to a number of different groups in November. Last weekend, I spoke at the PERI End of Rape AZ Conference. Check out PERI (The Project to End Rape, Inc.) at their website, endofrapeaz.org. On Sunday, I spoke to the high school service at Christ's Church of the Valley in Peoria.
So even though I haven't written a blog, I have actually been working I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving... now it's full steam ahead into the holiday season.
