She is going to be gone for a week. She has only been gone for 45 minutes and I can already feel her lack of presence in our home. Our dog knows it too.
In other places, things have been very trying. My ethics have been repeatedly, uncomfortably tested. It was strange to find out that I have had a support network of women, all of whom are at least 20 years older than me, looking out for me. It has been demonstrated to me over the last week that I have never been in this fight alone, and it's a bit overwhelming. I'm not sure how to use the sword I have been given, so I am just going to slow down and look for the right path. I admire quiet strength the most.
Women are amazing.

Charlotte Whitton quote that I love:
Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.
She will be back soon, and is never far from your heart. :)

The quiet woman's heart, is a tribute to her inner strength, but being sentimental in a moment of time is not a testament to weakness. You.. will use your sword wisely in the way that all good leaders do :)

I absolutely adore a man who is not only not afraid to be in love with a woman, but also isn't afraid to say so in front of other people....
THAT....is most wonderful...
Thank you.
