Here’s me, doing my bit to participate weekly in Kelly’s Seven Quick Takes over at This Ain’t the Lyceum.

So here’s…

This Week’s Resources for Catholic Trauma Survivors

Takes. Best described as quick. Seven of them.

1. Catholic Mom’s Colleen Millette reminds us to say “You Got This!” But not to whom you’d expect…
2. Inclusion does not equal endorsement, since I haven’t read this, but the title is certainly intriguing: How to Turn Your Child Into a Doormat.
3. Is it saintly to be a doormat? Ask these saints who had to set boundaries.
4. Well, I certainly have been feeling this one since being diagnosed with osteoarthritis for the first time at age 15 when I was a size 9: Adversity in childhood may lead to early aging in women.
5. Reaching into my backlog of bookmarks to the first article I saw on a new trend at the crossroads of public health and public safety: Denver sent mental health help, not police, to hundreds of calls.
6. Have you taken the quiz yet? Find your rut-busting Beatitude and get your free custom-chosen chapter of the book handily mentioned in the item below…
7. Ending with a cheerful reminder that All Things New: Breaking the Cycle and Raising a Joyful Family is available for preorder.

Let’s share more Cinema Therapy this week. Language warning: Extreme isolation in THE MARTIAN.

And now go give Kelly and her 7QTs a look see!
