Our luncheon topic is “Using Your Past Pain to Direct Your Path."
Guest speaker Sharon Williams will share her story of her escape from a physically abusive relationship with a prospective NBA player. She was a young woman with a bright & successful future but was caught in the terrible trap of this relationship.
Sharon had the love and support of her family and was always told by her mother “Your Eyes Tell A Story”. Through her story, she will inspire us to take control of our own narrative and own our truth. She will inspire us to be seen even though we might not feel seen.
Register through Friday, November 15th for $25; the cost is $30 through Monday, November 18th when registration closes.
A few take aways:
● Life does not always turn out as expected but it can still be worth living if one chooses hope over despair.
● By embracing change along with forgiveness and love, you can find a path toward peace and true freedom.
● Finding strength and determination can capture the courage it takes to fight for happiness against all odds.
