Female Bonding

Recently one of the women in our church has been putting together little events for us women to get together, do fun girly stuff, and bond. Honestly, at first I only went because I wanted to support her efforts, not because I was exactly thrilled by the idea of making greeting cards. But I went to that first event and I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the other ladies that showed up. So now I'm hooked on this card making, scrapbooking kick. Anyhow, another way that this gal at my church is trying to bring us closer to each other is by compiling a book of our stories. We submit our own stories of struggles and encouragement and life in general, and she puts together the book which will be free to any and all women who want it. It's a wonderfully nice idea. And since I do happen to enjoy writing (though it may not be at a very professional or proficient level), I decided that I would like to contribute to the book. So I've been brainstorming for a couple of days and today I actually began writing my first draft. It's not ready for other people's eyes yet, but give me a couple of days and maybe I'll post it on my blog too.
