Hello! Unfortunately I need to cancel tomorrow’s meeting. My husband has Covid and I have some symptoms as well. Not a good idea to pass that on. Sharing is caring, but not in this case! I pray you are all doing well and I miss seeing you.

Be on the lookout for a possible time and day change for our monthly meetings. Trying to work on some speakers and guests and working around their schedules. Great things ahead!

Sending you all love and great health. Always here if you need me. ~Jen

Decades later, Norton rolled up her sleeve to help test if a new kind of vaccine might protect her and her own children from cancer. https://cnn.it/4wOx29H

It’s with the heaviest of hearts that I share with the group that our Sweet Lisa has passed away. I think we can agree that cancer absolutely sucks.

Hello friends! This Wednesday, instead of meeting in person as normal, we are going to try an evening Zoom meeting instead. Our goal is to reach more people and this is one way we are praying will! Let me know if you want to be included and I can make sure you get the Zoom link.
