A Call to Action

First and foremost, I want to send a huge thank you to all of the Women who have and plan to participate in The RJ Group’s Women Empowering Women Series. In case you did not know, The RJ Group invited Any and All Women to participate by submitting a video or picture with a written testimony regarding Women (or a Woman) who has Empowered them in some way or another.

There is someone in your life who you have Empowered or has done the same for you. We want to let other Women know (those who believe this cannot be true) that Women can and do support one another in very positive ways. A friend shared that she was told not to trust Women by another Woman. Her response was “you are a Woman, should I trust you?” If we can move forward, let go of the negative, and stop holding on to the past there are so many powerful aspects of life that will be revealed.

Women do so much for one another and more can be done for others. Reach out and support those who need and want it. Simple gestures like a smile, kind words, or encouragement go a long way. Being available to those less fortunate than you means so much. You may have a strong family bond or very close friends. This is not true for so many. The next time you see a Woman you don’t know, say”hi.” This gesture will make a difference in your life and their’s.

Answering this call to action can also be as simple as replying to one of our blog posts, or following the aforementioned request.  It would be a very giving thing that takes about five minutes of your time. You never know if someone else can benefit from your experience until it is shared.

The RJ Group

The RJ Group represents the first initials of my Mother (Jean), Grandmother (Juanita), Grandmother (Rebecca), and Great-Grandmother (Ruth). These Women were raised in a period of time where they had to be very strong and encounter very difficult experiences. I know that we are all stronger in numbers and can build bonds that will help us make it through tough times. Throughout the years, through various means, I have been involved with projects and programs to Empower other Women. It means a lot to believe in and support someone who may have lost hope, or never had any.

The RJ Group will host a series of events and publish materials to continue the Women Empowering Women initiative. Get involved, it only takes a few minutes of your time. After all, we make time for anything that is important to us! What is more important than offering a little of yourself to serve another.

I am Dr. Melanie Magruder (pseudonym Grace Sowtrue). Grace of God is the foundation for all we are and do; and Sowtrue, it is true what we plant (sow) manifests in our lives. Helping one another is a reciprocal process. If you do it, then it will be done for you.

Live your life to the fullest!

Peace and Blessings,

Grace Sowtrue
