Amidst all the tragedy we need to remember that good things are
happening. We need to look and remember that we can make a difference.
We need to remember that prayer is powerful and that we can all play a
part in what seems insurmountable.
Our Seams project is helping girls reclaim their identity and showcase
their talent and tell their story in a way that is comfortable and
rewarding to them.
Every day, women get out of abusive relationships and make strides
towards a healthy life for them and their children. There are people all
along the way dedicated to reaching out, helping, supporting and
encouraging those caught in situations of violence.
Each of us has a voice and we can use that voice to tell others. We can
say Kasandra’s name when another story about Belcher comes on. We can
write news stations and tell them to focus on who Kara is and to not
exploit her. We can use situations of tragedy to spread the word and
perhaps light the flame of compassion and advocacy in someone else.
We can realize that we can all do something.
Reach out to those who are hurting, be a friend to someone we might
often overlook, do something kind for those having a hard time, give up
some Christmas funds to support an organization doing a Christmas drive
for those without. Invite a friend to our meeting tonight so they can
learn more.
It starts with one – you – and your reach in unimaginable! You can be
the change and we are here to support and encourage you any way we can!
