	Walk Across Oregon: The Movie By Virginia Jones The Garden of Roses: Stories of Abuse and Healing March 10, 2010 http://web.me.com/virginiajones/Compsassionate_Gathering/The_Garden_of_Roses/Entries/2010/3/10_Walk_Across_Oregon__The_Movie.html [with video] OREGON -- I loved the Walked Across Oregon in 2008. My children also loved the Walk Across Oregon and so did my friend Mary Lou. So we all Walked Across Oregon to Stop Child Abuse and Heal the Wounds again in 2009. This time Kay Ebeling, the City of Angels Lady joined me with a friend, her daughter and her daughter's friend. along with staff and volunteers from Domestic Violence Services of Umatilla County and Clatsop County Women's Resource Center. My children had no choice but to suffer through carrying an inflatable boat to the shores of Wallowa Lake and walking it through the shallows so that the water was deep enough to row the boat. They had to suffer through walking along the Columbia River by The Dalles and Hood River to find beaches to play on, they had to suffer through walking by at least 12 Columbia River Gorge waterfalls. Then they had to suffer through camping at Fort Stevens and walking along the mouth of the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean. We met sex abuse survivors, clergy abuse survivors, domestic violence survivors, and family members of children suffering from physical and emotional abuse. We met people living through abuse right now and people in different stages of healing. We made valuable connections and had lots of fun and we ate some good food along the way. We had so much fun in 2009 that we are Walking Across Oregon again in 2010. See our 2010 itinerary in brief form here. Join us for fun and for healing and to help others on the journey to healing themselves.
