This week's blog celebrates first anniversary of its existence representing individuals supported. I,therefore, wish to dedicate it to the very courageous women and men whose lives were somehow touched by the Association Tu és uma Jóia, who in the midst of their challenges stayed strong yet maintained the tenderness of their essence and rowed north.

The blogs were meant to tangibly impact readers from an individual's experience in crisis as well as hoping to be part of someone else's healing. It was to ease the anxiety and share their burdens by words of positivity and encouragement. We each have different stories to tell, yet we all share commonalities in our challenges facing a threat or crisis. Finally the blogs bring these common DNA of our emotions. By sharing the blogs it is hoped that words become the essential tools for recovery bringing comfort when we need them the most.
