What We Believe

  • EVERYONE is vulnerable to being pinned under the weight of their life circumstances at times

  • EVERYONE has a breaking point(s) - and ideally we don’t reach one!

  • No one can or should feel they need to go it alone

  • Shattering stigma is very important and lifts some weight off of us

  • Asking for a hand-up is not weakness - it is smart and demonstrates strength and courage

  • People dealing with mental health challenges and conditions are not weak but can be in a weakened state

  • Purpose is a key focal point on a healing journey

  • People on healing journeys should be invited into a community of volunteers working on a local project because everyone can make a unique contribution to society

  • Mental health is an integral part of overall health

  • As long as we are still on the stage, there are better days ahead!

  • With help, we can all be reminded that there are people out there who love us

The Story Behind Pinned2Purpose

Time spent with my 105-year-old relative, Alf Moore, and learning from his wisdom was always a reminder of the value of time; the normalcy of change and the ups and downs of life; and the benefits of staying in the game through gratitude, humor and connection. At 105, Alf would begin every day by looking in the mirror and saying, “Oh, good! You’re still here. Happy birthday, Alf!”

I’m sharing my story in the hope it helps others who may be struggling.
