"They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit." Jeremiah 17:8 (New Living Translation 2007)

As nurturers, women are always doing things for others. We are constantly taking care of our husbands, kids and parents. We join committees at church, sororities and other community-based organizations. We do all of this while holding a job. We are so accustomed to doing for everyone else that we don't think about letting the work bother us. Well, it's time that we take a step back and re-fuel ourselves so that our leaves can stay green!

If you are looking to nourish your mind, body and soul, we invite you to attend Nu Iota Omega Chapter's women-inspired summit on Saturday, September 14, 2013, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sheraton Orlando Downtown Hotel.
