Hi Craig,
My sincere apologies. I was so focused on my blog and finding a good place regarding the “identified patient” that I didn’t look around regarding the link distribution clause. Plus, I’m still new at this blogging stuff. I looked up information about 3 or so weeks ago regarding copyright.
If what I added to my blogpost isn’t sufficient, please let me know!
Thanks so much for pointing out my error. I’ll be sure to check a site thoroughly from now on when linking!
Cheers and keep up the the great work!

PS: I also had copied my blog post, “It Hurts,” to a private Ning community blog. I have corrected that blog as well. It reads exactly the same as my public blog. Thanks again, and please let my know if it’s not sufficient.
Regards,
~carol

HI Carol,
You are the best! Thank you for making the changes. The changes look great Carol. I am learning as I go my friend. With the bloggosphere the learning never ends — I am finding. When I created Second Chance to Live and started my web log back in February 2007 I remember spending 60 – 70 hours a week.
I spent 60 -70 hours a week for about 6 – 7 weeks learning about the world of the blog, designing, publishing — articles — then letting my contacts around the world know about Second Chance to Live and my message of hope. In my experience I have found that there were and still are many learning curves to ascend in my web log learning process. You are doing a great job. No harm, no foul my friend.
I hope you are doing well today. Please feel free to look through my Site Map http://secondchancetolive.wordpress.com/site-map/ as I have addressed a wide array of subjects as they relate to spiritual abuse — directly and indirectly — Carol.
If you have any questions or if I can help you in your blogging experience — as other people have helped me — please do not hesitate to ask. I will do my best to answer your questions or point you in the right direction. Per my experience working with WordPress.com — as they are the blogging “engine” that I use — has be fantastic. WordPress.com forums and support staff that are accessible and willing to help.
I will say so long for now. Have a great day. Thank you again for your proactive attention to my request. I greatly appreciate your integrity.
May God richly bless both you and your family Carol.
Craig

Thanks so much for the kind words, encouragement, understanding, and offer to help.
I do like WordPress and may eventually switch my eblogs over; I’m just not sure yet. I am VERY glad I chose WordPress for my project of transcribing one of my past journals. It was one of those ‘serendipitous’ circumstances that landed me there. Ha! Sort of like here.
Your Site Map is tremendous and full of helpful information. It appears to incorporate a wide range of helps, from the brain injury perspective to the psychological perspective regarding any trauma.
I have it bookmarked and plan to read more of the articles as time allows.
Even though your site seems to directly address TBI, it addresses the ‘by-products’ of any kind of trauma which includes harmful relationships. I’d like to list your link under my resources list for ‘Harmful Relationships, Spiritual & Cultic Abuse.’ Would that be o.k. with you? If not, I can link under my “Blog List.”
Thanks again Craig! I’m glad to have crossed your path…
Keep up the great service~
In hope,
~carol welch

Hello Carol,
Thank you for your time and kindness. I am honored by your presence. I agree with you concerning WordPress.com. After being encouraged by my Ph.D friend to start my web log I researched the aspects of different blogging engines I found that WordPress.com. I am so glad that I made the decision to use WordPress.com for my web log, as I would later find out that blogger and other blogging engines did not provide support staff or any real practical support — tp answer my questions. In actuality I tried to get some answers from Blogger, however no one ever responded. In my experience, I have found that WordPress.com is a blog for professionals that is run by professionals — who are service minded Carol.
Thank you also for taking the time to read through my Site Map and for your reflections. The observation that you made is one that I would like all my readers to grasp and understand. The reason why I use traumatic brain injury or living with a disability in the titles of many of my articles is to get the information into the hands — so to say — of brain injury survivors and people with disabilities. Nevertheless — as you recognized the information that I present through the articles that I write and publish for Second Chance to Live has universal and holistic applications to anyone touched by adversity and trauma. I am a bit frustrated — so to say — in knowing how to replace the potential bias that Second Chance to Live is specifically targeted or designed to and for Traumatic Brain Injury survivors or people with disabilities.
I would appreciate your help and input on how to best “get the word out” that Second Chance to Live is for any one touched by adversity, trauma and / or abuse with universal applications. I am not one too toot my own horn — so to say — as I believe in the concept of attraction rather than promotion. What would you recommend that I do to “get the word out” so to say Carol? My objective is to encourage, motivate, empower and provide hope to those individuals who visit Second Chance to Live, not to draw attention to me. Thank you in advance.
I would be honored to have you include a link to Second Chance to Live under your resource section. Please also let your readers know of my availability to be of service to them Carol.
Thank you again for your time and kindness. Please let me know if I and how I may be of service to you or your family.
Have a simply phenomenal day and God bless both you and your family Carol.
Craig
