Our ladies had the incredible opportunity to attend a spiritual retreat at Merom this weekend alongside some amazing women in recovery. 🤍

It was a time to be present, reset, and refocus — to strengthen relationships, build new connections, and draw closer to God in a beautiful, peaceful place.

To everyone who sponsored our ladies, thank you for making this experience possible. Your generosity gave them the opportunity to step away from everyday routines and spend time nurturing their faith, their recovery, and one another. 💜

Yesterday evening, Artist Within LLC joined us at Ruth House for a canvas painting class. Of course, we went with a fall theme! 🎃🍂

We listened to each step, giggled at ourselves along the way, and encouraged one another. We all started with the same canvas, paint, paintbrushes, and instructor. YET, no two paintings turned out alike.

It made me think about the recovery journey at Ruth House. Each woman has access to the same home, staff, tools, and recovery community, but she brings her own experiences, challenges, strengths, and goals. What helps one woman move forward may look a little different for another.

Our role is to provide that foundation while helping each woman discover what she needs to grow.

Just like our paintings, each woman’s journey is uniquely her own, and there is beauty in watching it take shape. 💜

Happy 1st heavenly birthday to our Josie Jo. 🤍

You are missed greatly. Your presence is still felt throughout the days, and your memory continues to live on - especially as we move into the fall and winter seasons. You enjoyed the Halloween on the square, pumpkin carving, Friendsgiving, sledding, snowman building, Holiday Coffee, Christmas time and really all the things that brought people together. We love you and will continue keeping your memory near to our hearts.

I often get asked what day-to-day life at Ruth House looks like. And although every day is different, there’s a familiar rhythm that helps our ladies build routines and move forward. 💜

In this picture, you’ll see the residents who are home today starting with morning meditation. Each woman chooses a devotional to read, we share our gratitudes, and then we talk about what we want to accomplish that day. We close with the Third Step Prayer. This is how we practice setting the day up for success.

Today, three of our ladies are heading out to submit job applications and follow up on ones they’ve already submitted. One is already at work. Our brand-new mama is getting acclimated to a beautiful new season of life, while others are working on their programming materials.

This afternoon, we’ll go grocery shopping for the week. The ladies prepare their lists and do their own shopping, practicing planning, budgeting, and everyday independence.

This is what recovery support looks like at Ruth House. Alongside a safe place to live, we provide structure, encouragement, and hands-on support with medical and behavioral health appointments, job readiness, insurance and SNAP assistance, budgeting, and personal recovery goals.

We do life right alongside these women. Through the ordinary days, the hard moments, and the milestones worth celebrating.

We truly believe there is SO much value in women supporting women. 💜

Hey!

We want to show out our alumnae, Becca, for celebrating 2 years of continuous recovery! 🎉

She continues to be a light to our women in the house, a light at her place of employment, and most importantly in the lives of her children.

Congrats Becca 🤍

Now that mama and baby are home, we are thrilled to introduce the youngest member of the Ruth House family: Miss Charlie! 😊

Needless to say, we are over the moon, but look at the smile on mama’s face. 🌕

Mya, we are beyond proud of you. Your strength throughout your pregnancy and delivery was remarkable. You faced your fears, worked through your anxieties, and did it, girly! We can’t wait to watch you step into mama mode and continue growing into the woman you were always meant to be.

Congratulations, Mya! You and Charlie are so loved. 💜
