Sexual Abuse of children has staggering statistics. Marvel Katz shares her story about receiving the devastating news that her daughter was sexually abused as a child. Marvel then speaks of the hopeful experience of writing a book to help bring this topic to light and help victims talk about their abuse in a safe and comforting way through.

Marvel grew up playing in the forests and fields of British Columbia. Like Tiny, Marvel has a sense of adventure and loves to explore the world around her. With her background in Early Childhood Education, Marvel has a compassionate heart for hurting children, and her home has been a safe haven for many little ones over the years. Marvel felt inspired to write Tiny's story after learning about her own daughter's journey; she felt lost trying to find support and resources suitable for parents and children who have been affected by sexual abuse. Now finding strength in her daughter's healing, as well as from her own past, Marvel wants Tiny to be a vessel of hope for children, teenagers, and adults.

Eva Bilungi Kiwanuka dreamed of living a happily ever after life. But her life took a change that she did not envision or sign up for. Living an overwhelmed life as a single mom with five children, she believed she had to do it all. Until a still, small voice changed her mind about how her life could be in partnership with Holy Spirit.

Turning an answered prayer into a lesson in how to deal with stress, overwhelm, and feeling you are all alone.

Kathi knew for most of her daughter's life that something was different. She was little, pale, and had a yellow tinge on her skin. Through the blessing of a new doctor during a regular check-up, Kathi finally got the answer, but it was not the one that she wanted to hear.

How often do you want your child to be special and unique? But not with a diagnosis of Fanconi Anemia which is so rare that there are only 1000 known cases worldwide. Kathi walks us through her daughter's diagnosis, the eight months of treatment, and the heartbreaking goodbye. Kathi is launching Sparkendipity - The Art of Sparking Joy & Happiness to inspire women to live life to its fullest.

Kathi is proof that you can find joy in any circumstance when you trust in God's plans for your life and the lives of those you love.

Sometimes you need a battle to awaken the warrior within you. Tammy became devastated when she started to lose her hair, fingernails, toenails, and vibrancy for life. Add to that a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and a constant battle with seborrheic psoriasis, Tammy was weak, barely able to make it up her driveway to the mailbox, and was not the woman she wanted to be for her husband, daughter, and clients.

Conventional medicine did nothing to heal her health problems, so Tammy awakened the warrior within her and fought to get her health, hair, nails, and life back. By listening to the leading of the Holy Spirit and research, Tammy developed God-inspired recipes that completely healed all of her issues.

Now, her God-given mission is to help women eliminate toxic chemicals found in personal care products that harm their health and the planet. Tammy founded AvivSPA Dead Sea Products in 1998. Tammy is now helping, healing, and encouraging other women to awaken the warrior within them.
