HOCC on the Go… April 2020 – May 2022
Faces and Voices of HOCC
Faces and Voices is HOCC’s newest way to keep our community of women safe and connected despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. While maintaining our monthly traditions of health education, empowering conversations, and warming hearts, we have created “HOCC on the go,” an initiative to bring some HOCC smiles and love into the homes of our women. To keep us all safe but connected, we’re posting messages and pictures that our HOCC women send us, featuring their strong voices, their beautiful faces, and their HOCC on the go packets.

March is here and Spring isn’t far behind. March is a month of changing seasons, when we emerge from the cold and darkness of Winter and enter Spring, with all of the hope for renewal this season brings us – light, warmth, wildflowers, new beginnings. Surviving through the Covid-19 pandemic has felt like 24 months of Winter: being alone, isolated, and often hopeless, but today we are at the edge of Spring. There is lots to celebrate in March, like International Women’s Day, National Women’s History Month, NWGHAAD, St. Patrick’s Day, National Nutrition Month, Gender Equality Month, and even National Potato Chip Day on the 14th! Let’s mark the start of this pivotal month by taking our next steps forward, gathering up our lessons learned, and replenishing our prior healthy goals. Let’s get ready to march into Spring with all we love and care about, and with all we have learned about ourselves and the value of others – our HOCC sisters, friends, family, and community.

Matters of the heart affect us in our core as they stir and move our souls. When we take intentional care of our hearts, with each beat we can live with hope. Matters of the heart represent the most important things in our lives that affect us deeply. They bring us joy and laughter as well as sadness and tears. They are things that touch our hearts, fill our hearts, and break our hearts. Even today, matters of the heart connects us to each other. Take time today to pause and think about the value of keeping your heart healthy. Remember too that you matter. Let today fill your heart with love, know that you are loved, and you are in our hearts. Keep your focus today and every day on the matters of the heart. HOCC certainly does, and soon we can tell each other in person. Keep the beat and remain strong!

HOCC Monthly Message
Welcome to 2022; a new year brings with it hope and the promise of reconnection and renewal. We’ve all been through a lot in the past few years—we’ve weathered uncertainty, isolation and loss. The end of 2021 brought a profound loss for our community: one of HOCC’s pioneers, a dedicated and loyal HOCC sister, and a leader throughout our community, Sylvia, passed away. Today, we need to honor our sister by welcoming the hope of a new year, to be resilient like she modeled for us all, and to remain as strong as she was each day. Let’s make 2022 a new and better year, by being authentic warriors and picking up the torch of health and wellness to light each day with love. Let’s bring to the new year a willingness to positively engage in all that surrounds us. Let’s do this together.

Peace on Earth – Peace of Mind
When I think of peace on Earth or peace of mind, some of the things I think of are no more COVID-19 outbreaks, no more wars of any kind, and no more global warming because we have stepped up to care for the Earth. I believe peace on Earth and peace of mind go hand in hand: we must embrace the love, the willingness, and the courage to truly make a difference together. The bottom line is that we can’t have peace on earth or peace of mind if we are not all in—not just today during the holiday season, but everyday going forward. As John Lennon sang, “give peace a chance”.
