What an interesting evening. Was invited to a friend's house to snack and drink wine with women I didn't know. We ranged in age from 30-60, married, single, divorced, liberal, conservative, agnostic, fundie, we were all over the board. The common theme was that we each knew the hostess. What a wonderful time we had sharing stories of love and loss, sex toy parties experiences, and upcoming adventures. One of the highlights of the evening was the bottle of port infused with chocolate. Truly amazing. The best part of the night, however, was when someone actually acknowledged how unlikely it was that we would all come together and be so open to share and not judge, and how much we liked each other and want to be together again.
We have to get together in August before Colleen leaves for her year-long writing fellowship at the University of Michigan and a trip to Turkey. We need one more night before Sarah's wedding in September.
Who knows if we'll ever be in one place again. But if we aren't that's okay, we had tonight and it was wonderful.

Cool! Don't you LOVE it when a group comes together like that??
Intelligent, articulate women, gotta love 'em. Of the seven, four are professional writers, two are life coaches, and then there was me. Am I a writer? How do you know when you are one?
From what I just read, Kristen, you are! You captured the night perfectly.
High praise coming from you. Thank you!
