FACTR (Family Alliance for Counseling Tools & Resolution) My Giving Tuesday choice!! Won't you join me, please!! kmh
With deep sorrow and profound grief, we inform you about the unfortunate passing away of the founding member and the force that held FACTR together - Karita Miraglia Hummer Karita Miraglia Hummer was a fiercely loyal and driven visionary who focused her energies on finding solutions that would better the lives of those she touched. From her roots in Sociology and Social Work, she committed herself to a life of service, building a progressive foundation centered on the prevail...ing principles of equality. Her mission to empower those most vulnerable around her led her to create Family Alliance for Counseling Tools and Resolution (FACTR). Drawing from her education and clinical work, she developed processes that addressed the needs of the immigrant and refugee community on both a micro (individual mental health) and macro (community) level. But, perhaps, the enterprise she found most fulfilling was the multicultural outreach FACTR provides. The Family Storybook, The Mindful Aging Project, Footprints Guild, and TEA (Theatre for Empowerment & Advocacy) among many others are passion projects that unify FACTRs objective of supporting the community as a whole. In her lifetime, Karita became the embodiment of the Greek verb (Meraki) which means ‘to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself into your work’. Her dedication to the cause was unparalleled and her enthusiasm was contagious, may we all be so lucky as to embrace our passions and turn our dreams into reality. May her beautiful soul rest in peace. Karita Hummer

This year has been challenging for us all in unique ways. It's forced us to build new routines, unlearn old habits, and stay connected in a socially-distant wor...ld. So we reflect: how can this new way of being allow for expansion? Focusing your attention on high-vibration emotions and as Deepak Chopra says, "doing whatever makes you joyful." Share with us: where will you place your attention moving forward?
