YOU’RE RADIANT! To all the incredible women out there, remember that your beauty radiates from within, illuminating the world around you. You are strong, capable of overcoming any challenge that life throws your way, and your resilience is a testament to your spirit. Embrace your journey, celebrate your victories, and know that every setback is merely a stepping stone to greater heights. You are a powerful force, and your unique story deserves to be shared and cherished. Keep shining brightly, for you inspire others just by being you.

You are remarkable, your presence brings joy and warmth to the world. Because of you, people smile brighter, children grow up strong and learn to love themselves, and families stay united through life's challenges. You infuse life with color and compassion, making every moment more meaningful. Your love makes husbands feel cherished and wanted, creating a nurturing environment that fosters connection and support. Remember, your influence is profound, and the light you share makes life so much brighter for everyone around you. Keep shining your beautiful light!

Never even consider dimming your light to make others happy. Don't concern yourself with who joins you, who supports you, or who recognizes your worth. You are backed by the greatest force of all— I'm not referring to Muhammad Ali, but to GOD. Even when times are tough, know that you are not alone. God is with you, watching over you and counting your tears. He understands your struggles and has your best interests at heart. Trust that your next blessing is on the horizon. Believe, walk by faith, and continue to shine your light—because the world needs you!

National Breast Cancer

Let us pray and fight together!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month, known in the United States as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is an annual global health initiative led by prominent breast cancer charities. Every October, organizations provide opportunities to learn, support, engage, and honor women who lives have been affected by Breast Cancer. Walk In Them Shoes, LLC provide educational resources to promote your breast health.

Bringing breast cancer awareness into communities is essential for saving lives and fostering a culture of early detection and prevention. By organizing workshops, health fairs, and informational campaigns, we can educate individuals about the importance of regular screenings and self-examinations. Increasing knowledge about risk factors and symptoms empowers people to seek medical advice promptly, leading to earlier diagnoses and better treatment outcomes.

Furthermore, community engagement helps to break down stigmas and encourages open discussions about breast health, making it easier for individuals to support one another.

Together, we can create a proactive approach to breast cancer that not only raises awareness but also saves lives.

Early Detection Over 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer lack a family history of the disease. Various medical, hereditary, and lifestyle factors can elevate a woman's risk of developing breast cancer.

Additional contributors include dense breast tissue observed in mammograms, advancing age, and a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, particularly among first or second-degree relatives.

Regular annual mammograms are crucial. Scheduling an annual mammogram could potentially save your life.

saves lives

Women who have a family history of breast cancer or possess known genetic mutations might begin mammogram screenings prior to turning 40.

Mammograms serve as the most effective screening method for breast cancer in the majority of women. They aid in the early detection of abnormal growths, often before any symptoms manifest. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage significantly increases survival rates. It is essential to schedule your annual exams.

October is recognized as Domestic Violence Awareness Month Everyone deserves to live free from abuse and the fear of it. Each year in October, advocates, survivors, and supporters come together to acknowledge Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). The Walk In Their Shoes organization, alongside numerous others, joins individuals nationwide in a collective effort to amplify the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors.

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE

H O P E

Within closed doors, chaos can escalate dramatically, leading to behaviors that instill deep fear in a woman. This abuse may encompass actions that intimidate, frighten, terrify, humiliate, hurt, or manipulate the other individual.

Domestic abuse can affect individuals of all ages, races, and genders. It can occur in marriages, among dating couples, and even between those who do not cohabit. This form of abuse may take place both behind closed doors and in public settings.

Domestic violence impacts people from all socioeconomic backgrounds.

Domestic abuse, commonly referred to as domestic violence or intimate partner violence, is characterized by a recurring pattern of behavior in a relationship aimed at exerting power and control over an intimate partner.

This abuse can take various forms, including physical, verbal, sexual, financial, and psychological actions, as well as threats of such actions that impact another individual.

No one should ever endure abuse. It's essential to recognize that the abuse you face is not your fault. Remember, you are not alone, but it’s important to find your voice and speak out. Such incidents are seldom isolated; they often increase in both frequency and intensity. Domestic abuse can lead to severe physical harm or even fatal consequences.

Within closed doors, chaos can escalate dramatically, leading to behaviors that instill deep fear in a woman. This abuse may encompass actions that intimidate, frighten, terrify, humiliate, hurt, or manipulate the other individual.

Reflect on your relationship for a moment.

If your partner has ever physically harmed you, coerced you into sexual acts, used derogatory language, employed intimidation or threats to control you, belittled you, humiliated you, or placed blame on you for everything, it may be time to seek assistance.

Impressive Highlights

TIERRA A remarkable woman of faith, a devoted wife and mother, is also the founder of an organization created in memory of her mother, who tragically lost her life to domestic violence. Although Tierra was very young when her mother passed away, she felt her absence deeply and understood the significance of spreading the message of hope and giving back to others. Supporting other families who’ve loss someone they love at the hands of DV. Tierra's path through loss, grief, and healing was incredibly challenging. She persevered, transforming her journey into one of forgiveness. Remarkably, she found the strength to forgive the individual responsible for her mother's death—her own father. Imagine the difficulty of confronting your father, knowing he caused irreparable harm to the only mother you have. Tierra displayed bravery, strength, courage, and an extraordinary capacity for forgiveness. She recognizes that only through God can we truly understand the love He desires for us.

Mrs. Carter persistently shares love and promotes the importance of forgiveness by ensuring her voice resonates. She supports families who have experienced a similiar tragedy. She is a co-author of the book "Breaking the Silence: Voices of Survivors Vol 2."

CEO/Founder of Mother’s Fighting From the Grave Inc.

Abuse Hurts In addition to the visible scars, women often carry emotional wounds that require care. At times, the pain can be so overwhelming that they choose to suppress it deep within themselves. This can lead them to attract or accept another abusive partner. The harm inflicted by abuse is profound and painful, making it essential to seek the right support for healing. Remember, you don't have to face this journey alone.

EGGSHELLS AREN’T FOR ME

YOU DESERVE BETTER!!

An eggshell is the delicate outer layer of a shelled egg, primarily composed of calcium carbonate crystals. It features tiny pores that allow air and moisture to permeate. Despite its thinness, the calcified shell provides essential protection for the egg's contents and the developing embryo against physical harm.

This leads me to the phrase “walking on eggshells,” also referred to as treading lightly.

Walking on eggshells describes the experience of being near someone whose behavior may be erratic and volatile.

Envision living your life alongside someone with whom you constantly feel the need to tread carefully. It's a terrifying, miserable, uncomfortable, and unsettling experience.

Unfortunately, this situation occurs more frequently than many realize. First and foremost, if you or someone you know is navigating life in fear and feeling as if they must walk on eggshells, please reach out for help.

22.

Living in constant fear of what might trigger someone can leave you feeling immobilized.

Just one word, action, or even a small gesture can provoke a reaction. Factors like a tough day at work, being cut off in traffic, or the perception that you’re prioritizing others' needs can all contribute. While God's word advises us to be mindful of our speech, it does not instruct us to live in perpetual fear of every word or action to prevent conflict with someone we care about.

If you feel like you are always on edge around someone, fearing their outbursts or the possibility of verbal assault, these are clear indications that you are walking on eggshells.

This serves as a RED FLAG, prompting you to reconsider whether it's worth staying in such a relationship.

Take a moment to watch a short film titled EGGSHELLS, which addresses the topic of Domestic Abuse. This powerful piece was created by A Made by Mortals Production.

That Thing That Cause Tremendous Pain I can't fully understand the dilemma you are experiencing. However, I believe that trials are meant to challenge our faith, test our patience, and ultimately strengthen us. What you're going through is not intended to defeat you.

All things work together for our good.

How can this challenge unleash incredible energy, you might wonder? At times, the exhaustion from frustration, lack, or disappointment can actually inspire us to find the strength and courage needed to overcome the limits we may have imposed on ourselves.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed with work, this discomfort might motivate you to seek assistance. Financial difficulties could drive you to chase your dreams, return to school, or even take a bold step to start a business or embark on a new career. Additionally, the desire for a healthier lifestyle may inspire you to take the stairs, exercise, or adopt better eating habits.

24.

Making a decision that leads you away from pain will invigorate you, yielding better outcomes than what you currently experience in that aspect of your life.

When challenges arise, view them as opportunities for personal growth.

Remember, God assures us that everything will ultimately work out for your benefit!

WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

By Darniece Bragg Photographs by Pat Santos

The holiday season can be one of the most joyous times of the year, filled with laughter, warmth, and cherished moments spent with family and friends.

It’s a time when traditions come alive, and the spirit of togetherness fosters a sense of belonging. However, for some, the holidays can also amplify feelings of loneliness and sadness, especially for those who may not have loved ones to share the festivities with. It’s important to recognize that comfort can be found in many different ways during this time. Whether it’s through volunteering, reaching out to friends, or engaging in personal hobbies, there are countless opportunities to create meaningful connections and find solace. Embracing the season’s spirit of giving can also provide a sense of purpose, reminding us that joy can be cultivated in various forms, even in solitude.

Wishing you peace, joy, and love this Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year. Take a moment to reflect on all the amazing and wonderful opportunities that await you in the New Year of 2025.
