Climbing Mountains: Rags2Robes
The "Climbing Mountains: Rags2Robes" event was a remarkable gathering, bringing together individuals to tackle the metaphorical mountains of financial struggles, mental health challenges, medical issues, and grief as a family. The event was filled with enthusiasm and a strong sense of community.
- Self-Defense for Women by Me, Susie Delo: I had the privilege of leading a session focused on self-defense for women. As the founder of "You Matter," I shared my personal testimony of overcoming my own mountains, hoping to inspire others to do the same. My presentation included a fun and engaging segment on situational awareness and self-defense. Attendees learned practical safety tips and had the opportunity to explore safety items available for purchase, with proceeds supporting "You Matter" and promoting personal well-being.
- Praise and Worship Music: The event was filled with uplifting praise and worship music, creating an atmosphere of hope and unity. The music served as a reminder of the strength found in faith and community support.
- The theme: "What's Your Impossible?" resonated throughout the event, encouraging attendees to reflect on their personal challenges and the possibilities of overcoming them. With great speakers and an enthusiastic audience, the event fostered a sense of camaraderie and determination.
Overall, "Climbing Mountains: Rags2Robes" was a resounding success. It was inspiring to see attendees leave equipped to tackle their own mountains with renewed vigor and support. The combination of powerful testimonies, practical demonstrations, and a vibrant community spirit made it an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

🌻I had an absolute blast attending the Chamber of Commerce Businesswomen's Roundtable at @noplacelikehomedecor1 in Saegertown, PA!
The venue was a treasure trove of beautiful home decor, and the historic farmhouse setting was truly a blessing for the evening. We indulged in scrumptious snacks and were wowed by an autumn floral arrangement demo that was simply stunning.
As Susie Delo with You Matter, I was thrilled to connect with fellow dynamic businesswomen, sharing inspiring stories and ideas about how we're making waves in our businesses and communities. It was a night filled with laughter, inspiration, and the joy of building meaningful connections. You Matter to Me! 🎉🌟
