[Viva] Women at the Gathering

[Bernice Thompson]

Hello Denise,

Those are all wonderful ideas and thoughts you have raised today and over
the last few days! ​It would be great to be able to get on the agenda of
the gathering to facilitate a discussion among women to get their thoughts
on the questions you've listed.

I am sure each one of us have our unique ideas about our purpose in life,
why we are here to begin with, and what our hope is for the future. Many of
our ideas will be based on our individual experiences, cultural and
spiritual background, belief system, what we utilize as tools to guide us
in our lives, and how we can use these tools or instruments to benefit
ourselves and others in our community in an up-building and faith
strengthening way.

It would be based on respect  and acceptance of each others thoughts and
feelings even if we don't agree with them fully.

I sense that you are a deep thinker and need specific answers in your life
right now. Perhaps this is a way of finding the answers to at least some of
your questions. I'm sure you have heard the phrase: "We look back to learn
and look ahead to live."

Have a good evening Denise.

Bernice Thompson
