as I have not posted this material sooner. If any of you have ever moved a parent into an assisted living facility (and dealt with all of the emotional and physical issues attached), you understand why I have been overwhelmed with work and details I could not have imagined! I have had friends who have [...]

A New Year and a Fresh Start
Posted in Study Material on January 11, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a few years when I took some time on NY Eve to dedicate a toast to the end of the year with a desire only to shake the dust off my shoes and move on! A new year is our opportunity to do just that. In addition [...]
Nitty Gritty

We all know it exists out there, but seldom talk about the “dark nights of our souls”. All of us are vulnerable human beings and whether we like it or not, are chemical beings as well. Our fragile inner selves suffer small slights and usually bounce back. But sometimes the ugly head of depression creeps [...]

Yep, it’s coming. Autumn Glory is just around the corner and Halloween costumes are in WalMart. You know what that means don’t you? As soon as the Halloween costumes go, Christmas decorations will appear! So I thought we might take some time before we get too harried to think about what we’re about to do [...]
Spreading the Good News

We don’t seem to hear much good news these days. Our media is full of details about just HOW BAD things are. I don’t know about you, but there are times when all of this pessimism gets me down. I have a sister who copes by (apparently) ignoring it all. I don’t know if she [...]

When we hear stories of successful women throughout the ages, we sometimes feel that their accomplishments are somehow out of our reach. We suspect they posses(ed) some extra gift of courage or luck or gumption. Today we will look at some heroines-both from the past and the present. As you will see, they have affected [...]

“God saw everything everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.” Gen 1:31. Some experts claim that most of our problems (of mankind in general) are that of a lack of self-esteem. “They” state that the quest for power and greed is really a quest to feel better about ourselves. Women, with [...]
We can all imagine

what it would be like to have a spouse become ill or die from an illness. What are the realities of the situation from the inside looking out? But are our imaginations correct? We have all had friends and relatives lose someone dear. How do we best respond? What things are truly helpful? Do we [...]
The Wisdom of Women

I am very happy with the development of this group. I am continually struck by how very much we have in common, but also how much we have to learn about and from each other. Last month and over the last few Gatherings, we have discussed some meaty issues of life-marriage, death, elder care and [...]
We may or may not be wives, may or may not be mothers, but we all are daughters …

and we all have (or have had) parents. These relationships are complex. Most of us will deal with caring for our parents at some time in our lives. Or we may be faced with caring for our spouses or children who need our help. How do we handle the changes? How do we face the [...]
