Penwomanship...Need I say more.

Great. I understand a couple women found a publisher through this site.

Through this site, I have come into contact with E. Dian Moore and through her have several articles published on-line and will have print article come on in Penwomanship in May. Thanks for allowing us to make contacts through this wonderful sight.

Hi Dotsie, how has this site helped me? Let me count the ways. I appreciate that women on this forum have allowed other women a peek into their lives. What we learn from each other is that we have more in common than not. When we share with each other, we help each other, and like a spiral, the help reaches out to others, even on invisible loops. We may have laughed a little, and carried that joy into the world for others to get an uplifting smile. We may have cried a little, and carried that sadness into the world for others to learn they are not alone. So the many ways that this site helps is infinit, because healing through sharing has infinite possibilities. I had no idea there were so many like-minded women in the world! My only regret is that I didn't come upon boomer chicks sooner! Love and Light, Lynn

Oh Vicki, I'm so glad you have your life back. Congratulations. And Brenda, your site is so clean and to the point. Here we have Caged Birds and Song Birds! Great screen names, Lynn

Don't forget all of us who are being published in Cosmic Brownies! Thanks again, Pam!

I'm not entering a contest, but thought this morning that this is a great place to just openly say "Thank you" to Dotsie.

This message board has introduced me to so many truly lovely women. The kind of women that email you ever so often and ask how you are. The kind of women that seem to intuitively know you need a pick me up and email to tell you they enjoy your work.

Dotsie, you have no idea how often I receive an email from someone that has read somthing I've written after seeing my sig line here. They send kind words, just when I need to hear them.

What you've created here is a safe, happy place that fosters friendships among women from very diverse backgrounds. That's not an easy thing to do. I've never seen it done before and done well.

So, thank you. Thank you for this place. Even though I am very busy now and don't have the time to visit as often as I'd like, I actually miss it when I'm away.

You're the best, Dotsie.

What the Boomer site means to me is LOVE. I am not a person to make friends easily, good true friends. I have many acquaintces but they are merely small parts of my life. I have met and formed lasting true friendships on this site with women I have never laid eyes on, except for a picture in the album. When I awaken each day, I rise, shower feed my animals and eat a sensible breakfast, thanks to the BWS diet group. I turn on my computer and check email then go directly to this site and my friends. Of late my computer was acting up and wouldn't allow me access and I thought I would die. I wondered around this house aimlessly, feeling so alone. I guess what I want to convey to you Dotsie is that without this site and the wonderful women I have come to know and to love, yes love! I think I would dry up and blow away. The Boomer site to me means LIFE, LOVE, FRIENDSHIP and BELONGING....Thank you all.

Oh my. I toldyou this stupid machine was acting up. Either won't post or posts and posts. The reason I haven't been posting much lately. SORRY! Dotsie maybe you can remove all but one of these.....
