Hello, My Sisters!

I believe this is a season of reflection—a time to think about our spiritual connections and to re-access our lives.

In the Christian tradition, we reflect on Easter. Our entire faith is built on that one day — the Resurrection!

In Judaism, they celebrate Passover. The night the Death Angel passed over the houses of the Hebrews to smite the firstborn in Egypt.

Still, other traditions commemorate the giving of the first words of the Quran, or the beginning of spring.

Or some take time to reflect on their lives.

After the Holy Days, I know I’m taking a step back to re-access my goals for MP and my life.

It seems we aren’t growing as fast as I’d like. I want more women to join us and share their stories. It helps us to grow stronger together.

Don’t you agree?

Also, if y’all have any suggestions to help us in that endeavor, please leave your thoughts in the comments or contact me at middlepause51@gmail.com. And tell your friends, sisters, aunties, mothers, etc., about MP.

Let’s get the word out!

Also, I appreciate the hard work y’all do in sharing a piece of your lives. Your stories matter!

Peace & Blessings!

Debbie
