PURPLE Women Corporation 

As women today, we are faced with the pressures to be perfect in our appearance, in our homes, and in the world around us. As we put our focus on this perfect image, we are masking what's truly going on. We are trying to cover up the hurt, loneliness, abandonment, divorce, loss, depression, oppression, abuse, rejection and uncertainties. Our goal at Purple Women is to teach women that our God is a God of restoration. He will restore every area of your life. Not to where it used to be, not to where you imagined it would be but to where it is predestined to be. Join us on this mission to restore all women, from young to the old, whom God loves so much!

A large apartment fire reported late Wednesday morning in the Norcross area has no reported injuries but has temporarily displaced 26 people. That number includes 19 adults and seven children, according to a news release from Lt. Colin Rhoden. The blaze was contained to only one building, but eight apartments will be vacated due to the fire and power being turned off by responders. The release says it took nearly half an hour for firefighters to control the flames, which took place at 1311 Seasons Parkway in unincorporated Norcross. Upon arrival at 11:46 a.m., crews found the upper apartments on the left side of the building heavily involved with fire and about to collapse. Read the full article on Norcross Patch.
