Celebrating Three Years

Today we celebrated our third year anniversary of helping women reinvent their lives with a potluck luncheon.  First of all the food was phenomenal!  So phenomenal in fact we’ve asked everyone to share their recipes and I’m now convinced we’ll see an Elizabeth’s House cookbook being published before long.  Toni’s mini salmon cakes with spicy remoulade sauce were a big hit, as was Louise’s rice salad and Monica’s guacamole.  There was Mediterranean salad, red pepper bruschetta, zucchini frittata, and a squash casserole you wouldn’t believe.  There was fruit salad and fruit pizza, and I could go on but I think I’ll let you wait for the cookbook.

The joy of the event was listening as women reflected on their personal journeys and why having a place like Elizabeth’s House has been important.  No surprise women are grateful to have encouragement and inspiration for living life connected to spirit.  Through all the changes that life brings to women, one thing is crystal clear.  Women need a space to share those changes with other women.  We knew it three years ago and we know it now.  The women of Elizabeth’s House have said “yes” to living life fully, without judgment of ourselves or each other.  We’ve put our titles in a basket to discover something more.  We’ve stopped looking for answers and have fallen in love with the questions – and we’re questioning everything.  We’re beginning to understand that we don’t have to be in crisis to get support for living a life we can love.  We’re beginning to believe the life of our dreams is possible.  That’s a lot of growth in three years and it will be exciting to see what’s next.  The possibilities are endless…

Peace,
