The holiday season is upon us. This year has both sped by and dragged on. Everyone has felt some sort of change in their lives either directly or indirectly from the COVID-19 Pandemic. And so we look to the future and to the past as we usually do as the year draws to a close.…

As promised, we are thrilled to showcase the remarkable work put forth by our global cottages which have deeply impacted their families and communities.   Tai and her cottage from South Sudan were concerned about recent instances where intruders walked into homes and raped women and young girls in her community.

The Powerful Impact of a Teacher

Model of Powerful Impact, November 2020By Kathy StimpsonOctober 29, 20202 Comments

I believe that teachers make a powerful impact in our lives. In my family, music teachers have been especially impactful. I asked each of my children what impact their teachers had on them, and their answers were surprisingly similar. They all mentioned how much the teachers cared about them personally, and supported them as a…

Cheerspreaders are Models of Powerful Impact

Model of Powerful Impact, November 2020By Norma HendricksonOctober 26, 20202 Comments

We met two “cheerspreaders” when the newly-completed walking trail behind our home opened.  In case you’re wondering, these are cheerleaders with powerful impact.

In My Own Little Corner, In My Own Little Chair

Family, Model of Powerful Impact, November 2020By Rebekah PierceOctober 26, 20201 Comment

Carousel, Model of Powerful Impact, November 2020, Serve, Women in ActionBy Pat FrandsenOctober 26, 20201 Comment

I met Dr. Ugochi Ohajuruka the first time I went to the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women in 2017. As I filmed her, I was so taken by her desire to lift women out of poverty and give girls the correct maturation knowledge and tools to build a good foundation for the future.…

A Note on Loss

Family, Model of Powerful Impact, November 2020By Shelli SpottsOctober 26, 20203 Comments

In the last couple of years I have written and received too many condolence letters. And I wonder about them, these artifacts of sorrow and grief, inscribed with a litany of words that do not say the things we mean to say, because there really are no words for those feelings, but instead we turn…
