Things have been fairly slow at the Pulver's house lately, which is okay. It gives us a chance to recharge and prepare for things to come. Saturday, I was able to attend the "Hot Mama Makeover" at the Dixie Center. I won tickets on the radio so I grabbed Amy and we headed off for some adventure and learning. There were some good classes. We narrowed it down and started the day off with a quirky motivational speaker. We then went to a women's sexuality class where we learned the "layout of the land". We then pressed forward and took some self-defense tips from a egocentric over the hill "famous" kickboxing champion. But, my favorite class was Tai Chi. It was taught by a Mr Magoo looking 60 year old man who was fit and more spry than many 30 year olds I know. (I am so layed back that Tai Chi fits me perfectly.)
As we were walking around the vendor booths between classes, I noticed a booth that was handing out domestic violence pamphlets. When I saw the volunteer sign up form laying on the table, I knew right then why I had won the tickets. One of my favorite things to do is help people. I've tried to center my life and my jobs around doing just that. I've been a lifeguard, an EMT, a victim advocate and even doing first calls gave me the opportunity to help people. The job I have now definately does the opposite of that, so I've been praying for a chance to do what I love and it was dropped right into my lap. I know that the Lord works in mysterious ways and Robb and I have learned to accept and embrace the path the Lord has given us.

Wow! What an amazing quality to have! We need more of you in this world. It's too bad that there is even a need for that volunteer position. Hopefully you will bless and change so many women's lives!
Jem, you have such a good soul. I would hope that everyone who needs an advocate at sometime in their life can come across you or someone just like you.
Hugs, Aunt Joan
