"…tears are streaming down my face. My emotional release has always been through tears.  They signify my happy times, as well as sadness. Peace is attainable. We can help each other. My fears have been released, now I have to work on presenting a positive outlook to keep it that way. I look forward to our continued conversations and encouraging support."                       ~~Kim

"It was, indeed, a magical weekend.  It is amazing what women can do together when they channel their energies, and I think the whole weekend was filled with it.  I thank Candace for bringing us all together from different parts of the country to experience The Witting. I look forward to other gatherings and carry you all in my heart which is all the more open because of you."

"As I speak to other women about our weekend we spent together and as I “try” to explain exactly what we all did and experienced together, it reinforces the “feeling” that was created in me and continues to remind me of the things that I let go and opened myself up to.  My goal is to continue with positive thoughts and feelings which I am finding spreads through to others.   My daughters were so excited to hear all about The Witting.  I thank you all for opening me up to this, I guess I would call it, “feeling within”."                                                                                                           ~~Karen

"I have a decided tendency to drift into negativity, even hopelessness, when things don't go the way I'd like.  I listed this on the paper I burned, and that imagery has stayed with me and is helping me as I sort through the next step related to my book. The other thought that has lingered with me since that evening is the place of the "crone" in the cycle of life.  I just turned 69 and am facing the challenges inherent in being older in this society that is youth-focused.  I find I am largely ignored at the office, except by those who are nearer my age or who are "smarter" than the others.  It seems that generally few younger women look to older women to share their wisdom, experiences, etc.  I believe this is to their detriment.  The "crone" idea affirmed to me that there IS wisdom that comes with age.  I must be prepared to share that wisdom as I get opportunity. Thank you for a delightful evening."

"I am still so happy from the expereince we had together.  I also have tried to explain what our time together was like to other people.  Somehow I feel like my explanation is getting lost and I find myself saying "You just had to be there."  As I begin to feel myself giving in to the everyday stress and chaos I am letting myself take that step back and remembering the intentions of so many of us.  It was a very magical experience and I truely believe we were all gathered together with one another for a reason.  I look so forward to our next time together and again I thank you Candace for having us all there.  I thank all the rest of you for your knowlege and making me feel so connected."          ~~Donna

"I am finally catching my breathe after such an awesome (and I mean that literally) event.   The word that comes to mind is WOW...Women Of Wonder....what would the world be without us, but we know the answer to that don't we?   I had a weekend that I will never forget, a weekend filled with humor, emotion and wisdom.  It is the raw emotion that stands out most and as I write this.  I also have tears of joy and gratitude that I had the opportunity to be a part of such richness of life."      ~~Lila
