It is Sat. morning and I am sitting in my favorite place, in my favorite chair, in my comfy home in Chelan, looking at the marvelous view from my window, drinking my morning coffee. The sun is almost up over the mountains and it looks like it is going to be a glorious day. I am grateful beyond words! And I am writing my first blog ever! This is TRULY a glorious moment because I have been THINKING about it for way to long.
Those who know me, know that my company, Women's Wellness and Integrated Social Health, WWISH is my passion. The idea transpired from my own life experience of crisis and adversity. My mission today is to help eliminate stigmas associated with reaching out for help when suffering from poverty, depression, abuse, homelessness, addiction etc... Reaching out and coming out with your problem is a sign of incredible courage and a desire for much needed change. WWISH brings resources together and puts a spotlight on those resources in order for easier accessibility for those who need it. And I am very inspired and excited about the growing community of women who are willing to help with finding solutions to the problems of under represented resources, in all shapes and forms, and shed light on the importance of support. What is equally important is the willingness of these women to offer their expertise and share their own life experience in order to help empower other women.
Last week, I met with two powerful advocates for women and families from Family Services, Patricia Gray and Kelly Pearson. These women are passionately committed to eradicating homelessness and helping families heal. Family Services is a non profit organization that has been around since the 1800's. They offer early education classes for homeless children, counseling for parents, housing options, as well as many other services that help move families out of adversity and into stability and consistency. In over 100 years, Family Services has never had a permanent home and this June they will open the doors to their brand new beautiful home! They have worked tirelessly to raise money for this cause and are on the last push to raise money for the last leg of this project.
I am thrilled to announce that WWISH is hosting a benefit to help Family Services raise money for this important cause on May 23rd! I will keep you all informed about our progress planning the event but get ready for a great party and be sure and save the date. For those of you who attended our last benefit you know that it will be a blast! And for such an important mission!
In closing, on my first blog ever, I want to say that none of what I have accomplished in my life would have been possible without the support and resources that were offered me in my darkest days. Through resources and connection grows empowerment. Today I am hopeful for all women and look forward to helping with change!
