Children of an untreated victim of childhood sexual abuse
stand a five times greater chance of being abused themselves.
Punch a hole in the darkness!!
Become a Lamplighter, a light in the world of child abuse.
Start a chapter in your area.
Provide a “home away from home” for other survivors, a safe place where they can tell their story. Support for adult survivors of child sexual abuse incest, domestic violence, rape and sexual assault
Due to COVID-19 virus the Lamplighter Movement was in limbo. Now that things are looking brighter on that front we are coming back even stronger. If you are looking for a chapter in your area that may or may not still be functioning, check the Chapter Locations page to see if there is a chapter listed for your area and email the facilitator to see if they are doing Zoom meetings, are doing masks and social distancing or have telephone support. If you are interested in starting a chapter please let me know and I will help you set one up. My email address is margie@thelamplighters.org.
WE NEED AN ARMY!

in paperback on amazon.com and all other online book stores.
My recovery poems have all been compiled into a book called
Odyssey, A Spiritual Journey.
Please read the newest entry in my Poetry Corner
My life is but a weaving between my God and me; I do not choose the colors He worketh steadily. Oftimes He weaveth sorrow and I in foolish pride forget He sees the upper and I the underside. Not till the loom is silent and shuttles cease to fly will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver’s hand as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.
If you want to be happy change the sail not the wind.
