A Blog Created by and for Women



Women's Stories that could Change your Life

I have journaled most of my adult life.  My drawers and closets are stuffed with colorful spiral notebooks, nothing fancy, just plain old white lined paper that hold my deepest secrets - the tears, heartbreaks, joys and revelations of my 60 plus years of living on the planet.  Finally one day it hit me as I was flipping through the yellowed pages of my notebooks, all the richness of life, lessons learned, and wisdom gleaned from stories never told.

No matter our age, we all carry our own unspoken, unwritten stories, the details as unique and varied as a finger print yet similar in essence.  When shared, these stories carry a potency and power to inspire, uplift and transform the giver as well as the receiver.

As women we speak of things we measure our life by, that which is near and dear to our hearts such as family, relationships, child rearing,  life work,  caring for elderly parents, creativity, travel, as well as spirituality and a sense of sacredness and awe for this mystery called life.

My intention here is to provide an open space where women can come together to share their inner most thoughts, experiences, insights or bits of humor. As I attempt to capture some of the experiences and inspirations I have had along the way, I invite you, the reader, to share in the conversation too. 

Who knows what might happen from the telling of even a single story.  More and more women may be inspired to tell their stories, and the telling and listening of each others stories might inspire more hope, comfort, optimism, strength, wisdom, laughter, perseverance, empowerment, awakening, and dare I say greatness! 

As one wise woman once said, “In the story of one woman is the story of every woman”.

So I invite you to join me in this adventure. And please don’t hold back!
