I woke up early this morning thinking of everyone here, hoping and praying that God's peace and consolation will silently sneak into the sadness that some are experiencing this day (myself included) and bring that inexplicable joy that tells us that we are not alone and that God is with us in a very special way today.

Peace and comfort to all my sisters who are in pain, alone, sadness or struggling in any way today...we've made it thus far, we will continue to move forward and upward into lighter patches of life...this too shall pass.

Love to all, and know that I'm carrying my sisters in my heart throughout the day, even if I can't get on the computer to say so. Know that you are never alone...be still and know that God is with you, my heart is with you, and so many others here are with you in spirit and prayer.
