What does the theme Soul Steps mean to you?
Soul Steps means honoring the journey that each of us has as we live a life in search of our full potential. Recognizing those moments when critical mass forces us to make life-threatening or life-changing decisions. The magnitude of those decisions is uniquely intimate and personal to the person experiencing them. The process occurs in our soul at the deepest level. And the clarity we uncover there provides the courage to take the next step.
What makes this event different? Why should I come?
Did someone say shoes? I’m so there! But seriously, there is not a man or woman I know who hasn’t wrestled with major upheaval. And a person experiencing intimate partner abuse is Exhibit A. It crosses ethnic, economic and class boundaries. Rose Brooks is one of the shining stars of our community, and yet they are forced to turn away those in need each day due to lack of space. There isn’t anyone I know who can’t find an hour for this worthy and unique event. And did you hear there are shoes? 
Why do you support Rose Brooks Center?
I support Rose Brooks Center because of my own story, my appreciation of their services, and the impact on the lives of those they serve. It is unlike any other organization I know – it is the path to recovery and brimming with humanity and compassion. Working with its people and vision feels real and tangible – and I invite all to discover the rewards of being involved.
