The Climb Out of Darkness

I want to apologize for the lack of blog posts this month.  June has been much busier than I could have ever imagined.  
I need to thank all the supporters.  The Seventh Mom Project, Inc. was in its infancy only one year ago.  We showed a film, and we knew we had to keep working.  Thank you to everyone who has helped along the way! 

So why has June been so busy??  Between school letting out, a full day SISTER Mom training featuring Mental Health First Aid, and a half day Cultural and Linguistic Competency workshop with Tampa Bay Health Care Collaborative, we CLIMBED. Well some of us actually climbed, the majority walked a beautiful Florida path on a muggy Saturday morning.  

Our Climb raised $555 to contribute to Postpartum Progress as they continue their mission to help moms globally.  Our climb was attended by 28 adults and 24 or so children.  We met at Weedon Island at 8 am on June 11th, ate some delicious donuts and drank my life source, aka coffee.

​I stood on a table and nearly cried as I was so touched by the turn out and the support.  I really don't think I could properly convey how grateful I truly am.

​We were honored to climb with the mother supporter of a climb leader from Vermont.  She even brought a gift, a book written by her daughter, Dancing on the Edge of Sanity. We used it as a raffle prize to share with our participants, but will be adding this to our library with our next order!  

Mrs. Florida Galaxy and her family joined our climb and gave a moving keynote address post climb.  We were also joined by Sarah, the founder of Postpartum Florida, our friend and mentor on this journey. She is extra cool because she brought cake.    

After a muggy walk, we ate cake!  Because when you are as awesome as we are, it is totally okay to eat cake at 9:30 am.

Thanks again for a wonderful inaugural climb in Tampa Bay! Please forgive us for our lack of posts this month.  We are working hard on a few big projects to debut in July!

Holding the Umbrella,
