HIMPower Magazine HimPower March/April 2019 | Page 5

Editor’s Note G reetings HimPower Family! Wel- come to another informative issue of HimPower Magazine. There is a lot to tell you about, so I will get right to it. As you know, March is Women’s History Month and we celebrate the many contributions women have made to humanity and the world. Each faced personal challenges, yet persevered in the face of untold adversities to do the unthink- able and achieve the unimaginable by those who said they never could or would. To commemorate their collective achievements, we decided to take a little different approach this year. See how in our editorial cele- brating Women’s History Month. March is also National Kidney Aware- ness Month. Millions of adults experi- ence chronic kidney disease, while others are impacted by end stage renal disease requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant. Inside, we’ve listed Key Facts and Preven- tion Tips for you to share with family and friends. You can help curb this trend. For April, we focus on Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Incidents have become so perva- sive, the CDC considers sexual assault to be a serious public health problem. We hope by bringing greater awareness to this issue, it will promote greater understanding and dialogue, especially in the faith community. Speaking of faith, few events bring us closer to the source of our faith than Easter. Remembrance of the sacrifice Jesus gave for each of us at Calvary is celebrated around the world. We also celebrate it in our hearts, and for that reason penned a few thoughts in Reflections for the Lenten Season. Of course, HimPower Magazine would not be complete without spiritual inspira- tion. We are always pleased to share with you the wisdom and testimonies of our faith writers, and this month is no exception. In addition to spiritual food, we have another great article from our guest contributor who shares insights for healthier living. Last, but certainly not least, we are thrilled to introduce an exciting new podcast, Just Be Real Sis. See our cover story and learn why this inspiring new podcast has come for such a time as this. Until next time, may you be blessed throughout the Easter season—and to God be the Glory! Blessings… Carol www.himpowermagazine.com  5
