Project Empowerment is proud to support The Pixel Project's "Paint it Purple Campaign" 2010!  Of course, I go by the beat of my own drum and baked cookies instead of cupcakes.  Why am I doing this?  The Pixel Projects main focus is to help end violence against women, all over the world.  So they bring together organizations that are doing just that, into one database, The Pixel Project .  Regina You was a recent guest on my show and shared more information about her work and why she started this organization.  You can listen to that podcast here.

So back to the cookies, why did I make those instead of cupcakes?  Well, to be quite honest with you, I much, much better at baking cookies over cupcakes.  Each cookie is wrapped with a purple ribbon in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month and I've attached a card from The Pixel Project.  Simple.  Filled up a basket with them, shot out an email to all my co-workers (my day job is at a local hospital ER) and will be off to work soon with all these goodies (plus a copy of my own book "Escaping The Glass Cage: A Story of Survival )

I hope this inspires YOU to find a way to help end violence against women and empower your world today!
