From our Day of Gratitude

by Tina Roth

There isn't one woman I'd like to thank at Elizabeth's House, there are many. All of the women who currently uphold the spirit of Elizabeth's House and those who are still connected, but no longer visit. Like so many who have come before me, Elizabeth's House has been the oasis in my desert of self doubt. The much longed for place where women love and support each other. A safe place to rediscover who I really am-who I have always been- buried under the expectations of others and myself. A place where women simply honor other women. A place where women ask, "What if nothing's wrong?" Countering the constant drumbeat of "Everything about me is wrong." A touchstone of peace to go to during the chaos of life. So to all the women who are here today, physically and spiritually, Thank you from my heart, For honoring me, and holding space for me, For encouraging me to re-emerge as I truly am. Tina
