THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
Hello Friends and Colleagues,
I imagine Y'all got to spend some time resting and you made time to eat?some delicious food with your community.?I will gather with some wonderful people this evening to share my 5th turkey dinner! It's my favorite meal of the year and really the only time I eat turkey and stuffing... So Yummy! I am?blessed that all my neighbors had their dinners on a different day this year and were kind enough to?invite?me into their homes to share a meal. They all?took care of me like their own... When I was growing up, my family always said, "the more, the merrier" and allowed EveryOne to be a part of whatever we were doing. I still live this?way???
Today, is Giving Tuesday, a special day of the year for non-profits and the people they serve????It is a day to remember that as we give we?make room for us to receive as well. I live a very abundant life... not because I have millions of dollars in my bank account... because I have an amazing community of people that love and support me. As I appreciate all that I have, I also remember that not everyone experiences this or believes?that it exists due to their circumstances.
When you share your abundance with our?non-profit The Adara Collective you are sharing your love for another human being by giving your support. When You share your abundance with us, we create space with?the people we support to feel loved, to feel seen, to feel heard, and to know there is a chance to experience something different than what they have in the past... children and adults alike????
When you share your abundance with us, we are able to share:
???Restorative?practices like sound healing, meditation, emotional regulation, breathing techniques, movement, and more, empowering individuals to express their truth... Allowing a person to practice being calm and centered in all their experiences.
???Essential resources for successful reintegration, such as mentorship and education on healthy relationships. When?a person feels safe in their relationships they are able to consider being a part of and creating?more in their community.
???Safe space and opportunities for growth and transformation, enabling individuals to forge new lives with improved communication skills and conflict resolution techniques. When a person is able to express themselves in a productive way, they do not feel the need be reactive.
When we share these opportunities with our community, we create the possibility of CHANGE and the environment to practice being ok with change... wherever we are at in the process???
This week is the perfect opportunity to join us on our mission! We’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 to support our programs and grow the collective. Your contribution, big or small, will directly impact communities in need—and it’s tax-deductible ??.
I personally will be donating to the following organizations that I deeply believe in and resonate with their mission???
Together, we?make a difference this holiday season and beyond. Whether you choose to donate on Giving Tuesday or any other day of the year, your support helps us transform lives.
I Love You,
