Wickedly Wonderful Wild Wise Women!

When ever you move from a place you have lived for many years, the hardest part is leaving your friends behind.  And, while emails, phone calls and letters are always welcomed, there is just no substitute for a REAL hug from your girl friend.

Recently I have been adopted by a group of women who have been gathering for many years every week.  As I have gotten to know them and they me, somehow it feels as though we have been friends for a long time.  Why is that?

I think it is because no matter your age, women have a kinship -- a bond of experience that serves to unite them and helps them build rich, lasting relationships.  Helena brought a card with her for all of us to sign for her mom, Anita, who is having brain surgery very soon.  Although several people left, a few of the remaining women bunched together to take a photo to send to her with our love and prayers.

When we started talking about our moms, mothers-in-law, grandmothers and sisters, it was as though our women-web spread out wider and wider.  So, we are sending out love to all of our KUPUNA.  And that includes MY mother-in-law, Margaret spending a chilly winter in Charlotte, Michigan!   ALOHA!
