I always did love tiaras -- but I'm still not sure I'm convinced, lol. ;) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-53374668790149616422021-03-28T12:45:03.517-04:002021-03-28T12:45:03.517-04:00I'm also grateful that you find links and shar...I'm also grateful that you find links and share them, while I didn't attend live, I did get an extended pass and will watch over my break this week. I had wanted to attend some live, but the timing just didn't work out for me. Very exciting to have such representation! And ew, crone. I always resent going from maiden to crone with such an truncated, amputated mother experience. At 44 I don't know what I am!!!

I guess it's a sign of progress that I don't really feel too much angst these days, but it was a bit jarring to realize how much older and further along this road less travelled I am than so many of the attendees. Also to realize how little they seemed to know about the women (*cough* -- us! lol) who paved the way ahead of them. Most of them seemed to have at least some familiarity with Jody Day & Gateway Women, but many of the other names and books and sites mentioned, familiar to you & me, seemed to draw a blank. <br /><br />(Albeit I also struggle to identify myself as a "crone," lol. I'm not THAT old, am I??) loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-22577512019352475682021-03-24T15:26:35.552-04:002021-03-24T15:26:35.552-04:00I had a different set of emotions.
