I own that part of my struggle to stay focused and repeat the cycles has been my embarrassment in not understanding where to post. I also have many words and trying to wrestle through my “whys” takes time and results in a lack of follow through with assignments. Overcoming “doing it wrong” here is my first assignment that’s a beginning and is this where I am to post?

Hello, Shalom, my name is Ruth, I am now 57 living in the village of Riverton, Manitoba. I have been married 37 years with 5 kids ages 27-35, 4 are married and 2 grandchildren. My husband has developed a tractor for Africa (we are humanitarian workers) and is soon to be in South Sudan where 2 have been sold. I am a creative, musical, compassionate soul with a counselling/children’s ministry degree, who knows she is and all humanity is deeply loved by God. Joined to Him in spirit, my passion is that my whole being is transformed, healed and my goal is to bring others along with me into being healed, transformed and truly knowing this amazing God. In my journey, He keeps bringing me back around to this group. I know I need mentorship and the consistency of pressing play and showing up. Thank you Chantel, Carlos, Irina and Jessie for your faithfulness. I anticipate a deeper level of victory in my life during this connection with you all. I am back in the saddle again and loving it!!

I used to be a part of this group but haven’t been for quite some time now. I have decided to come back and access the nuggets I know are here. Here is my new introduction as I’m in a different part of life than I was last time ☺️ I am from TN. We moved here in Oct of 2025 so we’re still new to the area. I have a 5 year old daughter. Shes fun and loves to learn. She’s full of energy and recently started gymnastics classes which she is extremely excited for. I’m excited to see her learn and grow with it. I am in a transitional part of my life as I am building my life and career without my husband now. Unfortunately our marriage didn’t survive. I am working on finding myself now as my own person and building a life for me and my daughter. I’m stoked to be a part of this community and create EPIC for our future!

Here is a tour of our community 😃👍❤️ Blessings, The EYL team
