Comparison is all about conformity and competition. It’s easy to see how difficult it is to make time for the important things such as creativity, gratitude, joy, and authenticity when spending enormous amounts of energy conforming and competing. Creativity, the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared. - Brené Brown

The Homeless Period Project Packing Party

The Homeless Period Project Packing Party

You may think of your period as an annoyance but can you imagine not having pads/tampons every month? Did you know that feminine hygiene products are the least donated products to homeless shelters? Did you know that many girls in our schools do not have access to these necessities? For many the implications of living without these necessary supplies are serious… it’s the difference between attending school or work, between peace of mind and humiliation or between infection and health.

ABOUT RISING STRONG™

The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. Rising Strong is a book about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to a wholehearted life.

If we are courageous, if we put ourselves out there to live a wholehearted life, it is inevitable that we will fall. The Rising Strong™ process is about learning how to rise back up after those falls.
