Mother's Day is fast approaching, and with so much on my mind heading into this day, I've invited Dr. Ruth Alerte Jones to join us for a poignant conversation. She makes her living as an optometrist, but her life experience and desire to serve others led her to create the Healing Extension Maternal Network. Also known as the HEM Network, this nonprofit Christian ministry offers spiritual wellness resources (and so much more) for those affected by pregnancy loss.

To connect with the HEM Network, visit their website, send an email to [email protected], and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

This week I enjoyed the company of local artists, Jaci Ayorinde and Carey Corea. They are founding members of the Art & Spirit Forum, an informal gathering open to all, where artists and art lovers share inspirational writings from many sources and explore the spiritual mysteries associated with making and observing art.

It is their hope to bring people of diverse backgrounds and artistic disciplines together in a conversational environment that encourages openness of thought, and fosters higher degrees of understanding, insight, and creative action. They meet on Zoom every Thursday 6:30PM - 8:00PM.

Find the Art & Spirit Forum on Eventbrite and Facebook. If you would like more information, send them an email: [email protected]
