One of my favorite quotes is from Sue Patton Thoele: "In order for her spirit to soar, a woman needs the sense of security that close friendships provide. We need to be known and respected for who we are and, at the same time, gently encouraged to become who we have the potential to be. When the soft feathers of friendship cradle our weary heads, we rest more easily and arise refreshed and ready to grow." I am so looking forward to this retreat that I know will cradle me in the soft feathers of friendship with all of the wonderful new women friends I shall meet.
