Well, we are home. And I felt like I breathed in and out a huge sigh. South Carolina is a beautiful place - but it just wasn’t home. So we have moved into our home and found our new church home and I am seeing clients virtually still. Hopefully I will be in an office soon.
What I really want to talk about today may seem like a weird topic - but one that is important to many women. I found out about an organization called The Homeless Period Project - they provide feminine hygiene products to homeless women. Did you ever think about that? I didn’t until one day I had a woman come to my office and ask if I had any sanitary napkins for her daughter. Imagine having to do that! Unfortunately, I did not. But it made me aware of the dilemma homeless women face- or even women in difficult financial times. This organization sent me - for free - enough hygiene products for ten women for a month. It is an awesome service they are providing! You can check them out online if you are interested in knowing more.

It is another harsh aspect of life that I had no idea about - but one that is very real.
I have made several blessing bottles - I keep them in the car just in case. Our pastor also said he knows a good place to go to give them out. And I am pursuing having a Blessing Box. I need a cabinet of some sort to hold the items to be given away. If you are in the Bridgeton area and come across an old china cabinet or something similar - let me know please!
