Priscilla House

Priscilla House

1155 East Broadway

We would like to "thank" everyone that donated to the women at the Priscilla House on East Broadway.  On September 24, 2019 some of us women with the OMG ("Oh My Goodness" sharing, caring, and showing love) team, took donated personal items to the women at the Priscilla House.

I, Ima Yahruth appreciate the opportunity and response of the wonderful women of this community (on nextdoor.com) pulling together to give of their time, energy and resources.  A special thanks to Mrs. Christine White for her lovely donations for the women.  A special thank you to Mrs. Robin Miller who gave some awesome donations for the women.  A special thanks to Mrs. Amanda Wisehart for her hard work and great donations, participation and her public speaking to the women.  Another special thank you goes out to Mrs. Cheryl Smith for her time, hard work, participation, wonderful donations and her public speaking to the women.  Another special thank you goes to Ms. LeClara Whitlock for her hard work, participation, thoughtful donations and her public speaking to the women.  I loved the opportunity to also had the pleasure to donate and to publicly speak to the women.

We had a story to tell the women about our experiences we have had in the past and/or about someone close to us that might have had or has an addiction.  The women were very awesome and were receptive to us.  They provided their undivided attention and had the opportunity to ask questions at the end.  We gave out the donated items and we also took the opportunity to provide three lovely gifts to three winners whom names were pulled out of a basket.  Congratulations to Natasha, Karen and LaFawn.  They told us to tell all those who were involved in this mission for them, "thank you" from the bottom of their hearts! The other wonderful women's name are, Jordan, Holly, Abby, Nikki, Leigha, Lee Ann, Kim and Tonya.  We were very well received and have been invited back anytime.

The overseers of the women like Mrs. Lori Strause, Executive Director of Priscilla House, Mrs. Julianne Gibson, Intake and Outreach Coordinator were all please and they received us with open arms also.  These women along with other staff members have a beautiful and well-kept facility/home for the women and it is not only runningh smoothly but with a blessed ministry for them included.

The  OMG team would like to let everyone know that the visit to the Priscilla House was very successful and look forwarded in going back to check on the women again in the future.

We would like to mention that some of the donated items were bars of soap, hair shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs and brushes, toilet paper, Kleenex tissue and feminine pads.  When we meet with other unfortunate people across our state, we can always use these items.

Our next mission, the OMG team is going to be with the Lost Sheep Ministries.  We will give further information soon.  I talked to Mr. Norm Mirrick and he is an overseer of the Lost Sheep Ministries.  He mentions that they could certainly use blankets and told me that a lot of people don't realize that homeless people use blankets all year around, particularly because of rain, dust and bugs and the old winter months of sleet, hail and snow.

They are in dire need of "back packs," because what belongings they own they normally carry on their backs.  We will be gathering and collecting those items soon.  He mentions that it is a great thing when "tents" are donated because a lot of these individuals physically live under the byways, highways and underpasses in cardboard boxes and sometimes just out right in the open elements, no matter if it is raining, cold, hot or just right in temperatures.

We had some personal donated items left over so we will give them to the Lost Sheep Ministry, and other fortunate people.  I want to give a very special thanks to Officer Cliff, serving the community by giving of his time to the Lost Sheep Ministry.  He referred us to the Lost Sheep Ministry, and he told me that the homeless that come through the ministry doors are fed every Thursday, twice that day and afterwards have a bible study.  

I also had the pleasure of meeting some other inspiring people (from nextdoor.com), Mrs. Gin Noon-Spaulding and her daughter Maleah and I found out that her daughter has a charity that is called "Blankets of Hope by Maleah and Friends."  They make blankets for the homeless.  I was able to connect and meet with them at the Louisville Public Library on York Street last Saturday September 21, 2019 and had a golden opportunity and memorable experience to help make a blanket.  It was fun but heart-warming because somebody needy will use that very blanket I helped to make!  It really is a life changing experience to be able to touch someone in many ways and making something for them is "up close and personal!" 

The good news is that Mrs. Gin agreed to meet with us the ladies of the OMG team to take some of their blankets that they have made and meet up with Mr. Mirrick at the Lost Sheep Ministry.  I will keep you posted when we set an exact date.  Once again Thank you to all whom donated and to those who sent out prayers and encouragement to us women that have taken this path to use a part of our lives, time, energy and resources to touch others in a way that we let them know that we want to "share, care, and show love" always.

"Intertwine Forces"

"Intertwine Forces"

Today we have many organizations that are gear toward helping the disadvantage in our communities.  Both great and small, like the Salvation Army, Goodwill, Home of the Innocence, Red Cross, Make A Wish Foundation, and many more.  These organizations have been helping many people from all over the country for many years.  But what about the small groups that are lending a helping hand in our society, in our communities, in our neighborhoods? 

We are now discovering small organizations, even individual entities that are branching out and doing great things for the homeless, the hungry, the addicted and the unfortunate ones all throughout the states.

In our state of Kentucky we have begun to see and intertwine with other charitable forces and individuals to fuse together to accomplish the ability to help people all over our state.  We have discovered that there are individuals all around that believe the golden rule: "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (Matt. 7:12).  To go one step further, the Universal Law of Attraction pertaining to "give and you will receive" validates Matt: 7:12.  

Of course some people think and are taught early in life to save, save, save for a rainy day, for unseen mishaps etc.  This puts the savings in jeopardy because in Law Of Attraction needy circumstances will arise, new furnace for the house, outrageous mechanical car bill, medical, etc. that will surly take those savings.  If we have the mindset and strong constitution to know and believe that if we help others or give away some money or time, or energy, or all of the above, (especially for a good cause) then we become in unison with the universe and know it will come back to us many fold.  This is because we strongly believe and have faith and a mindset creating that which will manifest what we need.  It will provide that assurance for prosperity and wealth which will be generated to us, not only for our needs. but also toward our goals of continuing to help other's needs!

There is a group of us individuals that are joining forces to continue to help others in our communities from a much more personal and responsible level of charitable endeavors.  These endeavors consist of collecting personal items for the needy, making blankets for those who are in need, gathering clothes to dress those who don't have, seeking shelter for those who need a roof over their head and feeding the hungry.  

We at OMG are happy to announce that we have had the opportunity to intertwine with some lovely individuals that are making not only waves in the community but also making blankets.  The name of the charity of which they are operating from is called "Blankets of Hope by Maleah and Friends."

We are not only glad to cover this story of a fantastic young lady but also to intertwine with her and her group to do further things for the homeless in our area.  

Maleah, now sixteen years of age, started this group four years ago when she was twelve making blankets for the homeless.  Her theme and her glory is to make the blankets where they are warm but also to attach to each  blanket an individual positive and encouraging message and saying/quote.  I had the pleasure of helping to make one of the blankets and it did something profound to me in my thinking.   It transform the understanding that it could be me on the receiving end and the question arose in my head, how would I fare in that moment of need.  I am very grateful for being in a position to give in this instance.    We say "Thank You Maleah!"

"We Got A Story To Tell 

And So Do You!"

Hidden

Hidden

In this wonderful world there are hidden personalities that ache to come forth.  Hiding in the greenery of the mind the urge to grow courage to blossom into a needed being with values good for humanity.

Eyeing the moment that may be for an opportunity to speak out, how it hurts to be passed by and not noticed. They may say to themselves, how do I see as one and eliminate the singularity of I being alone?  Searching, wondering!

The vision that is seen is fogged by the image of looking back at oneself.  Nothing is more obvious than the world turn cold.  Nothing can develop nothing can grow!  It is hidden in the confounds of the soul.  Infantile in nature but senior in existence, how can the two merge and because it is hidden can there be a distinction?

Indistinguishably my character is blended with the hidden truth of more than just I, is ones thoughts.  Are there others like me?  Where do we come from, and what are we to be?  Hidden in this reality of fears and doubts, the trap set is our own making, for we cannot come out.  We have been through many hardships and pains.  Going through this jungle of exposure will start the hidden process once again.

Seeking the Hidden remedy will set the soul on being free, sharing the ultimate truth, got to change, got to recoup. Within is my special friend, taking my hand and leading in front of my cover.  I'm here to be seen, it is a kind of different dream.
Hidden no more!

OMG Mission 1

OMG Mission 

We are here to serve less fortunate people than ourselves.  We believe just to lend an ear to hear their cry from within is the superior power from above! We will extend our hand when we can to less fortunate souls we will meet.  The hardships of others is a far cry sometimes from happiness!  The road they have traveled and the experiences they partake in each day can be heart-breaking! 

I'm Ima Yahruth and I know the pain of an hardship like drug addiction, for I lost my baby daughter to an drug overdose and I have a story to tell.  

I have experience a feeling of loss that a lot of mothers fear each and everyday going through the same or similar experience.  Not only will I tell my story, but I'm going to search for others to share their story to tell, for it is massive and regular in this world.  

More to come!

"OH MY GOODNESS"

"OH MY GOODNESS"

OMG is a facet of Lioness Chic Boutique (LCB) an online women’s clothing store. LCB once a month partake in going on an OMG (“Oh My Goodness,” the beauty of sharing, caring and showing love, by giving) mission.

We match one dollar ($1.00) of our money to one dollar $1.00 of the customers money when they buy from us.  We then purchase “items” going toward women in shelters, drug addicted persons, the homeless, the elderly, etc., those who are in need across our state.  Donations are welcome also.  (Example:  We will use new and slightly used purses, bags, backpacks and fill them with personal items that they can use, which we take for granted every day, even blankets can be very essential and needed all year round).

We keep our customers informed, posting the organizations and people that we provide the items too, especially in how we are helping impoverish women and people across our state to hopefully spread to other states.  We the OMG team strongly believe the little things and the sharing, caring and showing that love we have, is what counts and it can hopefully empower people, especially women to bounce back and rise and get on their feet.  Check us out in Lioness Chic Boutique on Facebook.

Sharing, Caring and Showing Love

Sharing, Caring and  Showing

Love

In this world of issues, problems, confusion, chaos, addiction, hatred and despair, their sleeps a giant that is awaking all around the earth plane.  It's stretching and yawning soon to be fully awake because, it knows it is time to wake up and go to work!

OMG is a forum that will take a stand on these very topics and more, for we know that we are a part of that waking giant and must take the responsibility to speak out, speak the truth, lend a hand, and an ear.

From a spiritual standpoint and an inspirational viewpoint, we will and have traveled down that road of hardships but also of triumphs, for nothing in this entire world will be without a remedy, a way, or a fixer upper and this is by design, a higher one at that!

Most of us in life are able to overcome many obstacles but they have their side effects in our lives, which puts stress and weariness on our soul, but we manage (more so today more than ever).  We find an outlet rather it's a job, family, or some form of an extracurricular activity in our lives to suppress what we believe to be demons on the rise!   

OMG "Oh My Goodness" a group of individuals are coming together with sharing our stories, for we all have them and must reveal to the world what our story has did to change our lives, (rather it is good or bad) and how it has effected and changed others that are a part of us, in our world.  "The stories have to be told!"  It helps others to know and understand that they too share similar stories and experiences!  It gives them the opportunity to come out of the dungeon of their hearts to speak out also.  

I met a very awesome woman that is retired from being a nurse for over forty years and she told me a brief story about her daughter's triumphant life story!  This woman told me that she had "never" told her story about her daughter to anyone else and found in her heart to speak on it to me.  I was not only astounded but well please that I was able to help someone, like her to come out of that mental prison and share her life story about her long hard journey with her daughter overcoming a drug addiction.  I felt her once fear and now her joy and relief, but I also detect the uncertainty of the possibility of that demon returning one day! 

The OMG team upon knowing our essential life path and our exquisite sophistication of life travels and experiences believe it can be a healing mechanism for many.  It won't, as we understand heal all, for some will take heed and some won't.  If the rules are not followed that are applied by one's experience and others don't follow than it becomes a useless exercise for the soul! (We will be addressing "the rules" later down the line.)  But I found out that there are rules that apply to all when it comes to addictions and hardship of many kinds!  You see, we all on this earth plane share the same characteristics of a physical body and must provide certain things such as food and water to sustain it, those rules cannot be changed but bent!  There are similar rules that must be applied when pertaining to issues that contain not only being addicted to something, but being homeless, abused, distraught, and in despair.    

We, who are a part of the OMG team, through experience understand the process and the attempt to abide by that process knowing it can certainly heal with no regrets. The important thing here is who will be healed?  We understand that each life experience is archived to be able to refresh upon demand, so we take the liberty to express our endeavors so far and how we cope with life's ever changing mood.  

OMG, team is about caring for the people no matter who they are. If one is from all walks of life, we know at the end of the day, middle of the day and beginning of the day, we all have the same position in life no matter status, and that is "we are born, live and die sooner or later!"  We show our care by providing personal items to those who are struggling to maintain, rather they are on the streets, in a facility, or their homes.  We care about the elder, the young and especially women because it becomes a real challenge in this world today for us women and our children.  Why, because more women are working, business owners and entrepreneurs, home providers and just drenched with much more responsibility than years ago! We care about the spiritual lack thereof in our lives because we are perplexed by the many wiles of evil around today.  We, the team also understand that from a physical nature, the external forces are against us, for we struggle with many health issues today along with battling for our love ones to maintain an optimum health.  

The OMG team understand that showing love is the optimum experience.  You, reading this post have you ever in your life experience that unconditional love that abides in the ethereal of life.  Could you truly from your position and life experience say you have given it or received it?  Could you tell the world how it feels to show that ultimate love of self, or another?  When we show love it comes back with such quintessential force, it can be seriously threatening, but in a quiet sort of way!  The team loves to show love.  There was an elderly lady that we are acquainted with and she shows her love by taking people here and there and doing other great things for her peers and love ones, that she didn't have the opportunity to acquire some things she loved to possess.  She loved jewelry and lack more than she would love to have.  The OMG team step up to the plate and made sure she had more than she would ever want!  She only could say that she was "overwhelmed!"  

This is what makes OMG "Oh My Goodness" more than just a faze it is a mission in thought and effort, for it could truly change some lives for the better with our attempt to just let others know we want to share, care and show that love that we possess in our hearts, mind and souls, and to tell our story and to listen to others story, for we know that everyone got one!

On this forum of OMG, we don't make promises, and we don't claim to be healers and we are not physicians nor doctors, but we do understand that one's soul, can be soothe to the point of feeling the healing to maybe being heal from the very thoughts that you have to stay in a particular situation all the rest of your life, and no one cares!  We are motivational and inspirational speakers and once again have a story to tell!
