You know, I was thinking about this today, and think there might be another facet to this...many women have come here hurt and broken, directionless, weary and worn. Is it not possible that many have found healing and restoration here to the point of being able to get back out there and live their lives in new and more enriching ways because of having spent time here? I know it's partly truth for me...I'm able to get out and about and enjoy other activities because of the healing, love and support that I found here...that's a GOOD thing!! I arrived here broken and utterly incapable of functioning "out there". Now I'm healthy, happy, empowered, grateful and enjoying life (though still working through some social anxiety, but it's not nearly as severe as before).

So it's possible that we've healed people back into their lives, and that they, in turn, are paying forward to others in their lives the enrichment and empowerment they found here.
