Out of a conversation of three women of a certain age, came the great idea to offer thoughts to other women who may benefit from our life experiences. To add to our knowledge, we interviewed 11 women from a diverse ethnic, economic, culture and location of the country. From their answers came the same basic beliefs we have addressed and prepared for you, the reader.Out of those conversations and ours came this book full of life experience essays to help those who may have questions about how to react to certain life events of their own. We offer an opportunity for women of all ages and paths to read about our experiences and reflect upon what we share.
