3 in a row-Green Smiley Monday
Hi everyone, so for the 3rd, yes count 'em, weekend in a row, I have experienced a peaceful, gentle weekend. I miss Ed all the time but the gentleness of the past few weekends have been a blessing.
Saturday Ken & I volunteered at church for a few hours, then I did a few errands & cleaned. Peaceful...
Sunday I went with Ken's niece Kelly to a fundraiser for her job at Girls Incorporated. It is a great organization that provides a safe afterschool program for inner city girls ages 6 to 13. Kelly is a site director. The fundraiser is held every year and is called "WOA" or Woman of Achievement". Four women are honored each year including a Girls Inc. participant or graduate. These women have accomplished much in the face of adversity - surviving war, illness, poverty etc. Amazing stories.
While at the brunch/fundraiser I won a raffle - an autumn basket. Yay, me! And during the event, Kelly turned to me and said, "You should be up there-you are a Woman of Achievement". I was very touched, although I don't agree. I am not brave or courageous because my child passed away. I do believe that like me, all of us moms at FMO have survived the worst and continue to love and help. I thanked Kelly for her kind words, but I know but for God's grace and the support from my sisters here, I would be curled up in a ball in bed.
Together we are strong. Love and peace to all you Women of Achievement.
