My daughter was on my lap top late last night. When she finished, I quickly checked to see what was happening on the site. When I clicked on Who's Online, there were six members and 25 anonymous users. I couldn't believe my eyes. Praise God.

I'm often complimented on these forums by women who never post. They come quietly and absorb the wisdom.

Thanks to all of you who post and share that wisdom. You are planting more seeds and sharing more knowledge that you will ever know simply by sharing your words.

It has been very fun for me - the first time I have joined a forum and people actually responded to each other. Anno

I just love it. It finalizes my day and I feel like I already know so many of you in just 5 months or so! Thank you all.

Yes Anno and in BWS they respond to one another with love, kindness and respect unlike some others I have checked out. To me BWS is something unique, special...its a sanctuary for anyone needing a safe place to rest, it then usually becomes their on line home because of what a woman finds here. I truly believe this site is as magnamimous as it is because of its founder, Dotsie, and her personal and constant good examples.....

I agree with you all - the forums are wonderful places to learn, to grow, to contribute, to feel not alone, to find answers and to find friendship.

My favorite part is that it is uplifting and supportive.

We are all helping to build each other up... feels like home!

This is my first chat forum as well.

I think the secret why this forum is such a success, is because you get the feeling you're being listened to.
Almost always there is someone out there to make a comment on your statement, and if not; you know it will be read anyway. Dotsie, JJ and Chatty are usually there to at least confirm what you want to say, which is often all you need.

This place helps make our worlds a better place, thank you Dotsie.

This is my first forum also. I did not know if I would fit in since there are so many talented writers, poets, & entrepreneurs here. I am none of those things....just a boomer, and you all have made me feel welcomed because of that. Thank-you, Dotsie, and everyone.

Actually, it's like being in school again. There's a sense of familiarity. Sisterhood is a word that comes to mind. Amazing, is'nt it? We are all some distance away from each other and yet all seem to gel. I am very much in agreement with you, Hannelore. There's always someone home.
