In Appreciation of Women Allies

by | Nov 17, 2020 | Ambassador Posts

So let’s be honest, this year has been rough.  Unprecedented times, stay-at-home orders, distance learning, working from home, wildfires, hurricanes.  It has been quite the year.  Many times this year I have found myself overcome with anxiety, desperation, and even despair.  What has gotten me through that is having people in my life who support me.  So now, in this month of giving, this month of gratitude, I would like to take a minute to show my gratitude for friendship; but not just any kind of friendship, female friendship.  The kind of friendship that says I am here to listen.  I understand where you are coming from.  I understand what you are going through.  Let’s go for a walk and chat.  Go ahead and cry; your body needs to release that stress.

It is these female friendships that have gotten me through this wild year.  It is being able to relate to someone who has stood in your shoes.  These wonderful women put aside their own troubles to hear you out, give you a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board for your endless ranting, and sometimes they just put on their walking shoes and walk along beside you, saying nothing but I am here.  These are the friendships that we all need.  These are the friendships that we need to provide to other women.  These are the friendships that I am most grateful for.

Here are a few of my stories and some tips for hiking in Shenandoah:

I would like to share a bit about my visits with my favorite person to hike, walk and just enjoy life with - my now 43 year old daughter.  My daughter is a HS History teacher and lives some 1200 miles south of my home here in western NY.  Some years ago...

Walking in Circles

Walking in Circles

I can recall walking in the Texas desert with my grandma while she searched for rocks to put in her rock polisher so she could make us grandkids necklaces.  Just walking and wondering what’s on the other side of the next hill was one of my favorite childhood...
