Who Are We?

EveryPurpose.Org focuses on postpartum mental illness, and how our justice systems deal with women who commit crimes while mentally ill.  Heidi Anfinson, never far from our thoughts, is our primary case study. 

EveryPurpose is dedicated to Jacob Anfinson, Heidi's son. Jacob immersed us in a postpartum mix of cuddles and lawyers, mental illness and naysayers, prisons and legal codes.  Start your journey into EveryPurpose the same way we did, on September 20th . . .

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:
   


 

A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted;

A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
 

What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?   I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-11
