I’m so excited – the nonprofit status for our organization, Bloom Again, was approved today.  This was an idea I came up with when I was recovering from breast cancer.  I realized how fortunate I was to have the luxury of being able to recuperate free from concerns about work and money.  I wanted all women who need a hand in their time of need to feel that same sense of relief. 

Bloom Again is designed to allow artisans to donate their work and have it purchased by people who want to help women and girls in transition.  In other words, we can all help women to bloom again.  My own work and that of Kathleen Kelley Reardon is on the site and I invite you to visit us at www.bloomagain.org.  Carol Frohlinger is on the Board of Directors. 

If you have friends who don’t need one more THING and you’d like to make a donation in their name for a special occasion , we’ll send them a card letting them know you made a contribution to honor them.  And if you’re an artist with work you’d like to donate please contact me through the Bloom Again website.  You can make more than a living — you can make a difference!
