This is especially for married couples. Isolated with each other during a 6-8 week "stay at home" order. What we wouldn't have given for such an extended to of "just you and me, babe", right? Well, if you're like Ronda and me, there ARE some upsides to having fewer external commitments that take us away from home and each other. But we've probably had more conflicts with each other than usual the past 4 weeks. That's why the guest blog post you're about to read got my attention and resonated with our personal experience. Jeff Pinkleton, a good friend and Encompass board member, forwarded the post to me. It's written by Toni Nieuwhof, wife of Carey Nieuwhof. So clicking the button below will take you directly to her post from this past week. We don't usually send you elsewhere than to our own blog page when you click the button, but this is excellent! You won't regret the 5 minutes you take to read it. Enjoy reading YOU DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS – 4 WAYS TO BATTLE BACK WHEN QUARANTINE MAKES YOUR MARRIAGE WORSE.

We're so excited to feature a fun Our Story video featuring Kevin, Carisa and Brian from Holmes in Springfield. They are siblings who assumed primary leadership of a their family business in 2007. In the process they sought a more team friendly workplace culture.  I read a troubling, head-spinning bit of information in a news feed I've subscribed to. The source is Fight the New Drug, a grassroots effort to educate and empower people to live free of pornography. Their website is exceptional with tons of research-based data, and it is truly inspiring to see the number of young people who are championing the cause. (Website link will be included below)
Back to the sickening news of a major porn distributor offering to "help" during the coronavirus isolation. What?? You won't believe what was posted! |
