chick,interesting...I gave up the majority of volunteering when my mom got sick and died. I decided I wanted to use all my free time to help care for her.

Then when she died, I had a huge void because I was no longer caring for her, or volunteering, The kids were growing up and didn't need me as much, and the empty nest was staring me in the face.

That's when boomerwomenspeak was launched. I hunkered down in prayer while I was in the valley.
