JIT Alumni and Author Irene Ekdahl Encourages Us to Write Our Own Destiny
Irene’s Gratitude Journal, published here and abroad, is now a JIT wellness tool, helping former foster youth, like herself, discover gratitude and mindfulness.
Meet author and JIT Alumni Irene Ekdahl – Her Gratitude Journal has made waves on Amazon, Target, Barnes and Noble, and Walmart websites and is poised to grow even bigger!
When Just in Time alumni Irene reconnected to the JIT community through the JIT Network app, she shared her greatest accomplishment – Publishing her Gratitude Journal on Amazon.
Her journal was eventually picked up by Target, Walmart and Barnes and Noble; translated into English and Spanish, and even sold internationally.
With the support of Just in Time, Irene is building even greater momentum. This year, her gratitude journal will be available to all participants engaged in Just in Time wellness resources, including JIT’s Rise to Resilience service.

DON’S LAST WORD
Welcome back!
Two words that convey so much. Recognition. Homecoming. Celebration.
It’s an unconditional invitation to return to a familiar place. To enter without reservation. “Welcome back” says we missed you and we’re so glad to see you again!
That’s the message we hope we convey again and again this month, during Just in Time’s Welcome Back Week!
To our participants who haven’t been in our community space since the pandemic. Alumni who’ve been waiting for the chance to reconnect. Volunteers, partners, board members and investors who are ready to experience the extraordinary energy that happens when we gather to affirm our values and share our stories of inspiration and increasing impact.
It’s our first chance to officially mark our 20th anniversary in our JIT “home” and re-introduce ourselves in-person after months of virtual visits and necessary digital distancing. To become energized to move forward collectively to make big things happen, like a nationwide 100K community. To see old familiar faces and make new lasting friendships.
Recognition, inspiration, celebration, homecoming.
We miss you and can’t wait to see you again. Welcome back!
