This was such a joy to read as I take a quick lunch break. I could not love this more. As a fellow care giver, I understand what you are saying in terms of those precious relationships not being exactly mutual and balanced. I struggled when moving to Minnesota then to Virginia and then to Iowa. My friendships began to resolve around the parents of my children, but that is also unique and different. My PWAG group is the closest thing I have had to your Cliterates and I am as grateful for them as you are for your tribe. I am grateful they are there, supporting and encouraging you. I am grateful that you have found this way to continue to share yourself and offer a ministry that fits with where you are in your chapter of life. It is an honor to read your words and glimpse deeper into your soul. So many prayers and blessings coming your way!

Thanks so much, Jen! PWAG was actually on my mind as I was writing this, too. I'm so glad Plymouth supports women building friendships in this way!
All positive energy and good thoughts to you and the Des Moines Chapter of the Cliterates!
