When I left Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, I left behind the women's group, which I was part of for over ten years, two members, Susan and Sheri, gave us a name, "Women's Spirit."
We met, and they continue to meet, once a month for a potluck supper. This coming weekend "Women's Spirit" will spend their annual weekend at Alana's cabin near Lake Winnipeg. I'd love to be there.
When I arrived here in Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico on August 1, 2010 I didn't know anyone. I needed a group, a place to belong. I set about finding my community.
Jane, Linda, K.T., Ann, Geri and myself get together every Tuesday. They are my new women's group.
I'm very fortunate to have found women who are positive, supportive, and accepting of themselves and others - warts and all.
The spirit of women can fill a room with humour, love and positive energy.
