October is National Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Posted on: Thursday, October 2nd, 2003 by Janis Erickson

Did you know that nearly one third of American women report being physically or sexually abused by a male partner at some point in their lives? Behind closed doors, women and children are being terrorized in their own homes. Our U.S. Postal Service will soon be unveiling a new postage stamp featuring a "Stamp Out Domestic Violence" theme. The stamp will bring support for the efforts of the National Domestic Violence Hotline to stop domestic violence. I am pleased about the national push for awareness and support for programs. Please be sure to purchase the "Stamp Out Domestic Violence" stamp. With the season of goodwill around the corner, it is a perfect time to help others less fortunate and make dreams come true for women and children. Please consider making a donation or becoming a volunteer to help where you can make a difference! Thanks and Bless you, Janis Erickson The Refuge Ministry Jeremiah 29:11

Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!

A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.

Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.

Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
