End the Silence Campaign

Please excuse the mess as I make changes to the website to make it more functional and nicer to look at.

Well, the Blog-a-thon is finished and slowly I am starting to return to a more normal state of being. If you haven’t had a chance to read through the posts from last week, you should. There is a ton of great original poetry, writing prompts, and work by some of my favorite poets. I will try to post everything under the “Poetry” section of the site as well.

Stay posted for more regular updates!

We have reached 9 AM. There have been some bloodshot eyes, short naps, jokes from Mario Dones, many episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm and delerium. On behalf of the entire End The Silence Campaign family, thank you and good night!

We’ll leave you with a quote:

These words want to answer your questions.

These words want to stave off your suffering,

but cannot. I leave them to you.

As I sit here listening to the air conditioning from another building blowing,  the T.V going, and the soft whisper of the apt. settle.  I am understanding the full extent of the word friendship.  Last week I was told about this 24-hour blog-a-thon and I was in full support of my friend taking on this  task.  And  I  am so honored to be able to  sit  at her laptop and speak to you all.  She truly is passionate about this website and any and all of the people who she is and will be touching with this website.  Thank you for being in support of my dear friend.
