Under The Influence

Do you ever get the feeling we’ve lost the sense of community?
Do you ever get the feeling that you are on an island unto yourself? 

God sure didn’t mean for it to be that way. His design is that women would encourage each other. Women are nurturers by design yet we find ourselves struggling through life because we’ve lost community. This is our focus here. 

Let’s talk about everyday issues that all women have struggled with at one point in their life. If you haven’t struggled with the things we will chat about here just bank up your wisdom. You’ll need it at some point. If you are twenty or you are sixty years old, there will be encouragement here for you.
