Upcycled, handmade artisan ornaments!

ViBella means "beautiful life" in Haitian Creole, and it is a life-changing job creation ministry that  gives hope, encouragement, education and employment to artisans and their families.

I made this cutesy video to showcase some of their handmade Christmas ornaments. Please take 10 seconds, and tell me which decoration you like best.

Im Back. And How YOU Can Help End Human Trafficking

Hey Blog World. I haven't been very active on the blog over the last year or so. Life got I'm the way, plus I forgot my password and couldn't access this account. However, now I'm back!

I'm passionate about helping others, and just stumbled across this great cause.

Modern day slavery is no joke. If you'd like to help END human trafficking, please help with a small donation. For the next 12 hours or so (there's a timer on the website) all donations will be matched x4! AND you'll get exclusive discounts and promo codes to dozens of ethical, fair-trade companies who are employing at-risk women! It's a win-win for everyone. You can choose to donate to a specific organization, or donate to "everyone" who is working together to end human trafficking.

Please go to https://www.charidy.com/unitedforfreedom for more info.
Thanks for considering this worthy cause.

Pregnancy and Infant Loss

1 in 4 women experience pregnancy and/or infant loss. It is a sad but true reality of our broken world.

It's been over 10 years since my own miscarriages, but I would not wish that pain and heartbreak on anyone.

Tonight there will be a "wave of light", when people all over the world light candles at 7pm local time, to honor those born too early and children gone too soon.

Today I am especially remembering 3 babies who were gone far too soon: 1. my infant brother Daniel, 2. Baby Benjamin, born still and into the arms of Jesus, and 3. Baby Amber, who went to sleep one night, and woke up in heaven.

If you or someone you love has experienced a similar loss, please don't keep your grief bottled up inside. Find support and encouragement in the fact that you are NOT alone, and remember that every life is important.
