Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother’s Day to the entire Soul Purpose community! I had the pleasure and honor of attending the Voices of Courage luncheon in New York city last Tuesday to honor some tremendous women who are changing the world and making a difference for women and children around the world. I was moved to tears by the speeches and felt committed more than ever to this global vision of empowerment that we have at Soul Purpose. I am honored to be “in the water” with each and every one of you. I also had the opportunity to meet Kulah Borbor and was able to tell her a little about Soul Purpose. I believe the message and story below speaks for itself.
I also had the opportunity to attend a beautiful Pre-Mother’s Day breakfast in Orlando Florida. I was the keynote speaker at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church - Divine Style with Sophisticated Elegance Fashion Show and Breakfast. It was really a wonderful and beautiful event and I am deeply grateful and honored to have been invited to speak by the church’s First Lady the most divine Sister Anita Barnes. I had a wonderful time and I was thrilled and honored to be able to share the Soul Purpose story not to mention being honored with the Women’s Empowerment Award. I am grateful!
I wish you joy, peace, blessings and quality time today to celebrate the spirit of motherhood.
With much love and respect,
Nadine Abraham Thompson
Founder and CEO Soul Purpose
Dear Nadine,
As we get ready to celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday, I'd like to tell you about a phenomenal woman–and mother–we honored this week, who has dedicated her life to stopping violence against women and girls. Find out what you can do here. Kulah Borbor works to prevent girls in Liberia from having to experience female genital mutilation (FGM) and the life-long physical and psychological trauma it leads to. Around the world, 6,000 girls undergo this procedure every single day.
Growing up, Kulah, who underwent FGM when she was 14, was told that if she spoke publicly about it she would die. Later, she learned otherwise, and now works for an international organization as a peer educator, teaching women and girls about the risks of this dangerous, and even life-threatening, procedure.
Kulah was also told that only "gronah girls"–prostitutes–went to school. Once again, she's proved them wrong by helping to set up a school and learning, at age 42, to read and write.
You can help ensure that every woman and girl has a bright future.
Urge your senators to support the International Violence Against Women Act, which would make efforts to address gender-based violence a key priority in U.S. foreign assistance programs.

I just wanted to share my why I joined and what Soul Purpose means to me.
Here is my story.
I love soulpurpose. Not just cause its some african american FEMALE owned company, but about 1 year ago I was 6mths pregnant and lost my son Xavier and had to go on leave from my job..know I was 39 when i got pregnant so i felt this was my last chance. Well from day one it was a rough pregnancy.
The day i lost Xavier, I was at the hospital and called my boss who we all work in the medical field and told her I just lost my baby she said "ok i will see you in a couple of days" I said: What you mean, i am getting ready to go in to labor and delivery i won't be back for months. do you know i did not receive a card, email, call, flowers nothing from my employers or boss then to top that, my grandmother died 2 weeks after Xavier. I was devastated. I had all I could bear, still no card no call no nothing.
I get back to work finally after months of depression, someone's dog died and they had the NERVE TO PASS AROUND A GREETING CARD TO BE SIGNED. You know i was heated.
That right there when the opportunity came to join Soulpurpose, it meant that I would never again have to deal with ungrateful people, being able to stay home raise my children or have a safe healthy pregnancy.
If that wasn't enough this past winter I receive a notice from my landlord of 2 years to appear in court. Yes, he did an illegal eviction! After several days of having to hurry up and move things out of my apartment to come home and all my possessions over the last 20 years had been taken to the dump!!!!
Let me just tell you, rewind 5 years from that my marriage to the love of my life left me to go back to his divorced wife! So I lost most of my things in that marriage so I spent the last several years rebuilding what I could salvage. okay fast foward up to the eviction, I was so distraught that I could just die literally. I could not take not one more piece of bad news.
A friend called me and told me about Nadine and what happened and she was starting a new company that was going to be something that would be life changing. I said why not let me give it a try. I am still struggling to rebuild but the light at the end of the tunnel looks a little brighter with this vehicle.
Now I have a team of consultants who i must say i ENJOY WORKING WITH and they have the same goals of financial freedom and we have fun together. We are going to see immediate income for our hard working efforts and the compensation plan is off the chain!!!! I have been in Avon, marykay, Beauticontrol, PRT travel, TraVerus and others and this is the only ONE THAT HAS REAPED great benefits that I can already see.
So thank you so much Nadine for your vision, your dreams, your ambition and the desire to follow thru and create Soul Purpose. I have my passion and my reason to make Soulpurpose work for me.

Also, are the candles in the little brown glass containers going to be a part of the line?
I have been hearing that the candles will not be the soy candles with the oils we love so much, but wax. Is this true?
Love the products, just curious.

I believe Soul Purpose is about to take off and make Nadine Thompson and Soup Purpose a household name!!
Congratulations, and much success!! I know you can do it!!

I love our new mango fragrance and yes it part of the jouney of the senses collection but I decided not to launch it at the beginning of Soul Purpose. I wanted to do fragrances that were a little more global and exotic for our beginning. The mango fragrance will be a part of the fruits and passion collection that will be launched mid summer. There are some other beautiful fragrances that will be made available soon. Thank you for the question and the interest.
