Hello Ladies,
I had to smile at the opening post to this site due to the fact that I was reading it with my feet propped up on the couch and a mug of tea in my hands. I am clearly in the right place. :-)

I was invited to this group by my dear friend (and super-mod) Kay, and I look forward to meeting and making new friends in this marvelous group.

I am a night-shift working NICU nurse and the wife of two years to a wonderful husband. I can most often be found reading, puttering around in the kitchen, or working on some new crafty project - all while drinking concerning volumes of tea.

My initial feelings about this group were admittedly a mixture of nervousness along with a sense of relief and anticipation. I grew up in a world of that "deafening silence" in my church and my family, and the resulting journey into the world of womanhood, identity, and dating relationships was a stumbling, painful process. Now as a married woman, though many of the scraped knees and bruised elbows have healed through joy, I continue to search and question and struggle with what I should grow to be as a
Godly woman.

There is such a need for such group as this - a place for women to talk, and laugh, and uplift each other openly. Bless you brazen women for cracking open this Pandora's Box!
