A Mother's Love Is True Love

A mother's love is a wonderful love packaged from heaven with special care.

A mother's love is like no other love that you can compare.

A mother's love is purified by angels and flows directly from her soul.

A mother's love is justified by God, and by his hands he created the mold.

This mould that was shaped and fashioned by God has endured the test of time.

This mould that was taped and recorded by women rang out like a heavenly chime.

A mother's love is unconditional, and from her heart, this can be told.

A mother's love is nutritional; it is the fruit that feeds our soul.

A mother's love 'IS' true love, and from her heart she cannot lie.

A mother's love is eternal, the kind that won't ever die.

A mother's love is the tie that binds, and her bond can never be broken.

A mother's love is branded in our hearts, even when her words aren't spoken.

-Leotha Brown II

From the Board, Management and Staff, Happy Mother’s Day!

Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health is wealth, especially during this month, Mental Health Awareness Month, which is celebrated in May annually. The stigma associated with mental health and treatment has long existed, even though this has started to change. Still, people hesitate to seek help, or even talk about it with their loved ones, for fear of being judged and facing unnecessary reactions.

Simple logic dictates that if we are hurt anywhere, we must seek treatment to get better.

This applies to both our mental - and physical well-being. While Mental Health Awareness Month is celebrated in some countries, a more universal day is also celebrated by the World Health Organization (WHO) on October 10, and it is known as World Mental Health Day (Anon., n.d.)

PSCU in conjunction with PEAPSL offers members and staff free counselling sessions.

World Turtle Day

Turtles and tortoises are common sightings in parables, stories, and pop culture and we celebrate World Turtle Day on May 23 to honor these resilient animals.

Turtles and tortoises are associated with wisdom and perseverance.

They are reptiles that are found in many environments all around the world. These creatures play an important role in their respective ecosystems. They dig holes that are inhabited by other creatures and keep our beaches clean by feeding on dead fish that wash up on the shores. They maintain an ecological balance and, therefore, it’s important to conserve these gentle animals.

Fun Fact

In any given year, common or leap year, no month ever begins or ends on the same day of the week as May does.
