About Girl Scouts of Central Indiana
We're 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Our extraordinary journey began more than 100 years ago with the original G.I.R.L., Juliette Gordon “Daisy” Low. On March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, she organized the very first Girl Scout troop, and every year since, we’ve honored her vision and legacy, building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. We’re the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to practice a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and success. To volunteer, reconnect, donate, or join, visit girlscoutsindiana.org or call 317.924.6800.
Over the last few months, my wife and I have experienced five miscarriages. We decided to be open about it because we need the support of friends and family, and we felt being open about it would contribute to the end of the stigma around losing a child. My guest Emma Ping of Selah’s Grace Ministries, started a nonprofit to do that same thing.
Jennifer Kitzmiller of Indianapolis Arts Chorale also joins us to talk about their event Break the Silence: Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness, a musical candlelight vigil for those seeking a space for pain and grief, remembrance and honor, solace and hope but, most of all, love. - https://www.eventbrite.com/o/indianapolis-arts-chorale-15774369012?fbclid=IwAR1-Qc_gvw3aVqwzMGVaz6MufrDDYOGXSILJwhi241gJCruFK_Rf3tPk3oc
