Why St. Croix?????????

As I sit here listening to my favorite Bob Marley CD, I am overwhelmed by all of the unexpected love and support I have received pulling together this magnificent conference/retreat. Those of you who are acquainted with me know that I can be moved to tears by anything and everything these days, from an unexpected gift of one simple (purple) flower, to a Hallmark commercial. I don't know if I am menopausal or simply crazy some days...lol..No matter "It is what it is". I can tell you this Sisters, I am learning to truly love my life. I take nothing for granted. I am celebrating every day as if God has made it especially for Marsha.  I refuse to become an ugly acting, judgmental, pessimistic, old lady .  No that is not the life my God wants for me. 

So why a Conference in St Croix you ask?????
On the beach in St Croix approximately a year ago,my Girlfriends and I were welcomed and adopted by approximately fifty of the most beautiful women we ever met.  These Sisters ages 29-80 were living life! As I share this day with you I am having a difficult time finding the appropriate adjectives, along with grammatical correctness to give you a true understanding of the spiritual, emotional and mental impact this day had on our lives.  These sisters showed a genuine hospitality that is rare amongst many women today.  On that day we ate, drank and danced on that beach, I felt privileged to be there.  I was so moved by the way each Sister made her way over to me and my Girlfriends to welcome us into their circle.  Each woman explained to us how they had become a part of this great Sistership.  I was fascinated by their willingness to so openly share their life stories.  As I sat there in awe of this colony of , "Queen Bees", I began to reflect on the importance of Sistership, and the need to cultivate these very vital relationships.

(stay tuned more of the story to come )
