Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face".

Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with our current group of PULSE participants (eight amazing women who will complete our program at the end of this month). I asked them about some of the ways in which they have grown over the past year. Here's their response:  

•    became more comfortable with myself
•    developed a backbone
•    took initiative and became more assertive
•    became confident in my leadership ability
•    developed time management skills
•    learned to try new things
•    developed better discernment
•    became confident

The transition from college to the "working world" is tough. Ask any recent college graduate. Finding work, developing new friendships, establishing a support network.  

The road taken by these eight women is different than the road taken by most college graduates.  They have decided to live in community; not isolation; serve, not take; share, not hoard; live in faith, not fear.  

As a result, they've gained "strength, courage and confidence".  They've also gained deep friendships, a strong support network and meaningful work experience.  Thank you so much for your support of these women this year.  They are a gift to us and so are you.   

Sincerely,



Chris Cooke
