October is almost over… but what other awareness lives quietly among the rest?

We see pink ribbons and mental health posts.

We honor Down Syndrome and infant loss.

But there’s another story woven through this month …one that isn’t always seen, but deeply felt.

Domestic Violence Awareness.

This isn’t just for survivors.

It’s for all women and the men who stand beside them. Because nearly half of all women have experienced abuse in some form.

That means we all know someone who’s lived it, hidden it, or is still trying to heal from it.

Awareness isn’t just about statistics. It’s about empathy, courage, and change.

As October fades, I’m holding space for all the causes this month carries: the strength, the stories, the awareness, and the healing behind each one.

Domestic Violence Awareness is just one of them.

But like each ribbon this month, it reminds us how deeply human we all are …how connection, compassion, and courage can change everything.

Let’s keep carrying that light forward.
