The morning after the Ladies Night

Sometimes we all take the small things for granted, when in reality, they are so important, and effect your lives more than you realize. and as a great friend just said "good for the soul".

Last night i was honoured to be in the presence of some amazing women. Funny, deep, open and welcoming.

We were at my sisters house, you always feel so welcome when you go there, it is a warm and inviting house, and put 12 women in one room and you are sure to have some giggles, discussions and share some secrets. And boy, were there some secrets! The night started with sweet Brittany coming into a conversation halfway and putting both feet in her mouth with a comment that she will never live down! Let's just say it was about nursing . . . . .

Was so glad to see Sue there, her first night out since Zachary was born 4 weeks ago . . . . . she got thru aching boobs to also share stories and laughter with us. So glad she came.

Sharon was the funniest with the "oh my god I shudder when I think about it" discussion about a certain ex. That started the ball rolling about mens 'sizes' and odors that carried on for most of the night. Her body language when talking about the ex was priceless.

We met to discuss life, spirituality and share experiences. Some of the discussion got a bit 'dictorial', but when you have that many personalities and people with life learning in one room, that is bound to happen. We all just took it in stride and if we wanted to listen we did. Some of the questions asked really opened the door to some amazing discussions.

But my poor little sis is such a lightweight, off to bed she goes prior to the end of the evening, and she misses some serious shits and giggles - Debs, in the middle of a quiet conversation yells across the room 'BUT ARE YOU A CONTROL FREAK?" and the whole room goes silent, then Pam stands up, and in her typical Pam way says "well, what Debs meant to say was, do you like to be in control at certain times, let me introduce myself, I am Debs filter" LOL. You just had to be there.

Between the control freak statement, the "my inner buddha flips me the bird"; "I cant find the red ball"; "where is my phone"; "ewww it was small and he stunk"; "my husband would have you join us"; "Brady does that too"; "filter, Deb, Filter" . . . and all the rest of the comments that will make me smile every time i think of them - i thoroughly enjoyed my evening.

I came away feeling empowered, enlightened, energized and so honoured and lucky to have been surrounded by so many wonderful women for 4 hours.
