    The solstice has passed, the darkness is behind us and the light grows brighter and longer every day. The season of rebirth is just around the bend.

    I want to take this moment to wish all of you peace and joy during this season of change.

    My dear Sisters, I have felt your pain. I have cried when I read your words. I have laughed at the absurdities and raised my fist in anger against the injustice of it all.

    We will prevail. Our strength, our compassion, our kind and forgiving natures, our understanding, our integrity, our courage and our deep, pure love will change our worlds for the better.

    I am blessed to have each and every one of you in my life. And, I humbly thank you for sharing your stories and your lives with me.

    I wish you all peace during this glorious time. Take some time out of the chaos of your life to reflect. Still your mind and, even if only for a moment, just let it be.

    Blessings to each and every one of you, my Sisters.

    With more love than I can ever express with mere words ~ JoAnn

    JoAnn – your words gave me goose bumps. You give so much to all of us. I just wish we could give back to you everything you have put out for us. I will say it again – you are a beautiful, wonderful woman with whom we are so grateful to have with us as a mentor and a friend.

    Love to you in this holiday season, and always.

    Well said, JoAnn. I hope that all of us find some peace and joy during this holiday season.

    Always remember that we are all here for each other and while it’s the holiday weekend, rest assured that if you are having a tough time, there’s always a sister online.

    My holiday weekend will be very quiet. We’ve already finished up most of our visits with family. We should be around home all weekend. I’ll be checking online frequently in case someone needs to chat.

    Much love and Happy Holidays.

    Been away, but with you all in spirit. Hope the holiday has been beautiful in a special personal way for you, JoAnn, and all our sisters who are so generous with their support and love. Here’s to a New Year of growth and enlightenment!

    Thank you too, for all that you do and have done, JoAnn! I can’t imagine a world without you in it. And if everyone put forth even half as much for the good of others, this world would not be the oft-times ugly place that it is! We are so blessed to you!

    Love to all,

    Been away for many days and missed all the holiday posts! Thank you, JoAnn! I thought of each of you many times throughout Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. No doubt, a difficult season this year for many of us and for many reasons. But, we have each other, thanks to our dear JoAnn! Next up? New Years! Let’s all resolve to make 2012 a better personal year for each of us- whatever that means to YOU! I love you all so very, very much!!!

    Thank you, JoAnn. I haven’t been on SOS much in the past few days with the craziness of the holidays and hosting for the first time ever (!!). All of a sudden, within the past half hour, things have been quiet. I’m feeling a bit misty-eyed and lonely. Your post and all of the responses mean the world right now. Love you all! xoxo Julie
