We are not alone.

The victory rolls! That's what I first remember when finding your blog. That and your incredible painting. :)<br><br>I have to say finally getting to meet you makes me rethink my "never moving back to Texas" rule. Because being down the street and able to bring over some tea and just chill on the porch on a regular basis sounds like a pretty sweet thing. XOXO, friend.

I think it's wonderful that you got the St. Catherine quote since you have connected with it before and I think it's a God-cidence that we got the same St. Catherine medal!

Like, of all the women that got to go (and had an incredible time), it makes my heart smile the most to know that your heart was touched and spoken to in touch beautiful ways. I really can't explain this to you. :) <br><br>Thank you for sharing your heart and experience with all of us!<br><br>Also, I am so happy you tweeted so much.

And I felt the same way going into this--will anyone like me? Am I just too weird for everyone? Etc. Etc. So many women I talked to felt this way. It was fantastic to know that we are not alone, and that people like us for WHO WE ARE. :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093622381381219651noreply@blogger.com
