Check out For Grace founder Cynthia Toussaint's latest column for Pain News Network. Sometimes you need something up and above the usual to find solace from your pain, something stronger than the pain itself. Cynthia shares how this past Christmas she experienced the inexplicable, a happening she soon realized was a visitor from beyond. This led to a cascade of "magical" events that sparked healing during a year of non-stop suffering. With this new-found grace, Cynthia encourages other women in pain to seek those other-worldly gifts that soothe body and soul.
Check out For Grace's February Story of the Month as we kick off this year's focus on chronic pain and social isolation. As part one of a two part story, woman in pain Kathleen Sutherland shares how chronic pain has kept her mainly inside her home for the last decade. Surprisingly, COVID has proven to be a social boon for Kathleen as many get-togethers are now online, which eases her pain of being cut-off. Also, she has made important connections through spirituality, discovering purpose by praying for others in crisis or need. With that new found community, Kathleen comfortingly concludes part one by sharing, "You are never alone. You are never not loved."
For Grace leaders John Garrett and Cynthia Toussaint have teamed with a video/film editor to craft a sizzle reel - with the aim of procuring underwriting for a streaming series they'll produce and host. Dove-tailing off their successful three-year live stream series that highlighted the connection between pain and trauma, the sizzle will, through video clips, pictures and words, tell the transformative arc of their story along with the need for this groundbreaking series.
