Let Me Introduce You
I sit here tonight just reflecting on life in the past few years that Womens-Place has been up and running. I think about how many women have been a part of our home on the web. I remember when I first got the notion to start W-P. My husband was so supportive. He help me from the get go. He knew I was very passionate about creating a place for women to just come and have a place to be who they needed to be. With the help of a wonderful editorial team which you can read about on the blog under About W-P Admins and W-P: A Story About Us. These two links will let you know how we came to be. Please visit them and read about some of the amazing women who have blessed my life beyond my wildest dreams!
I think what I want to convey, is the depth of the relationships I have formed at W-P. Even though it is the “web” relationships are birth and we have formed bonds stronger than some in real life friendships. Some of these friendships have led some of us to get together in real life and spend days together more than once. Not just the women but our whole families. Our web site has formed strong bonds that I am thankful for.
In times of tragedy my website reached out to me when my son died 5 years ago in May, at the age of sixteen. They went above and beyond to carry me and my family for a long time. They took over the website and ran it until I could emotionally handle the load again. Not only do they reach out in the time of devastation…but also in the time in joy! This just does not apply to me but to our whole community. It is like when one of us is hurting we all hurt. When one is rejoicing we all rejoice.
Womens-Place has been also able to help other women by raising money to help moms go back to school. We have raised money within our own community and then gave a scholarship to a woman in need. We take pride in making sure that our site is doing something to help other women make a mark in their part of the world! It is important to make a mark in the world! What better way than to help someone reach for her dream!
If you have not checked us out or spent much time on W-P, I encourage you to join us and let us leave a mark on your heart. You will not regret it.
I am thankful to all the women who have touch my life in many ways. I can never thank you all enough. I was reading through some older posts and was sitting there with tears in my eyes as I read them. This is what prompted me to write this blog tonight.
I would like to leave you with the following quote below:
He has taken his bright candle into another room I cannot find, but anyone can tell where he has been by all the little lights he left behind.”
