Last night, I realized that my Women's Circle has managed to become what it is I need it to become. I hoped that when I created it, it would work out to be what everyone involved needed, and it looks like it has. I started out inviting several girls over a few Sundays ago (maybe a month and a half ago now?) and after a few times with no one showing up, one time when 6 joyful, laughing women showed up, and now it appears that there is just 3 of us needing this group.
The reason I started this Women's Circle was because I know it's important for women to have a place to go where they can let loose and really talk to one another in a place of full confidence and trust; a place of non-judgment and true friendship. I wanted it to be a time where we could let go of the stress of the week and let out our creativity, joys, sorrows, frustrations, etc. Last week, I came up with the idea of making a book of love to ourselves. I pull myself down a lot by focusing on what I'm not- not good enough, smart enough, etc. So, I figured it was time to focus on the good. So, after getting a creative idea started by watching a video on how to make a book of senses, I figured a book of love was more needed. So, for each day of a month, we will write down something we notice about ourselves that we just LOVE. We each made our own artistic books, now we just need to write in them.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to have friendship like I have with these women. They are women I can truly connect with and grow with.
