Some things I put in my personal gratitude journal, some are worthy of sharing, especially here.

I'm feeling such gratitude for this safe place where we can come and just be. What inexpressable comfort in finding acceptance, connection, encouragement and common ground within each other's presence. And what joy it is to be able to swap stories, exchange insights and share wisdom as we each journey through our days. It's difficult to put into words just what an awesome gift it is to be puttering through my day (and/or my mind!) and then be able to come here and share life and connection with you women in the midst of that puttering...you are such an indescribably special and beloved - and vital - part of my life. And I thank God for each and every one of you, I thank Dotsie for creating BWS, and I thank each and every one of you for being, and especially for being here.
