Rating/Venting Wiki


The original intent of Get Your Power Back is to provide a place where individuals can to to freely express themselves without being judged.  It’s not about getting back at or shaming someone, it’s more about self expression, self healing and maintaining your power and not getting caught up in a situation and/or a person and their actions.  Ranting does not have to be negative.  It can simply be sharing information that you don’t want to keep to yourself or finding an outlet to express yourself when you are unable to contact your spouse, best-friend or your “go-to” person.

In searching the web I didn’t find any true Wikis on this subject matter.  I did find several blogs.  A blog of interest  and that is worth mentioning is called “mynameismom.com.”  It contains a rant room.  This is a place where mothers can simple go to express their feelings.  A place where mother’s can go and read on others experiences and know that they are not alone.   As indicated on the web site its an “online gathering place where real moms share real life.”  While this blog caters to mothers specifically, it models the intent of Get Your Power Back.

I personally believe this type of wiki, blog or web site can be beneficial.  It’s just another form of expression.  Sometimes people need to express themselves without having a real audience and this type of site provides that medium.  Again, ranting and venting does not have to be negative.
