When someone shows you that they can’t be respectful to you to support you, you need to take that into account. When someone is not around when you really need them, how can you trust them to have your back during rougher times?

Darlene Shervington Lends Her Beautiful Voice to Benefit Women & Children in Domestic Violence Shelters

Please copy and print out this free-e-booklet. It is a step by empowerment plan for you for the coming year. Follow this plan, do what it asks and your life will change. EXCERPT: Be YOURSELF! Go the "road less traveled" even when others are following along with the crowd or being slaves to trends. Dare to be different. Dare to be YOU! Independent thinkers are rare in this world. To be a powerful woman one must be able to think for herself—especially when everyone around her is attempting to form and fashion her life for her. The Bible says, "To thine own self be true." Realize that it is often more difficult to walk the path of Truth & Light. Take the high road anyway because the easiest way out is not often the your true path.

Poetry from Hiyaah Power poet Lisa Bartley-Lacey.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and Hiyaah Power Inc., has been rallying the forces to fight the war against domestic violence for months. Hiyaah Power Inc., has initiated "Lend Me Your Hand" an annual 50 State Shelter Donation Campaign scheduled to deliver resources and services to women and children this December 2004. Women’s shelters, businesses and organizations all over the country are combining their services, products and resources to aid and empower battered women and their families.
