We heard so many lovely voices in June.
So many stories of moving to the center of your lives -- becoming the hero.
It was a privilege to listen to and learn from you.
***
Thank you also for your systergy.
I was moved as I read your responses to one another.
Because of what you have said, done and offered to do, many are dreaming and daring more.
***
To encourage a show of systergy, I sponsored (4) random giveaways of $75 spa gift certificates. It was fun to announce that Ilene, Lisle, Maria and Shelly had won.
It was so much fun, I've decided to do one more giveaway.
There were a number of women who consistently showed up: Amy, Bonnie, Dana, Emily, Janika, Janna, Jenny, Lisle, Luisa, Macy, Maria, Mercedes, Rebecca, Stacey.
Without you, it would have been more difficult to become the hero of our story.
To say thank you on behalf of all of us, I've put your names into a hat (excluding Lisle and Maria who've already won prizes)... and am awarding one more $75 gift certificate: Mercedes White -- you're the winner.
Thank you to each of you for showing up, listening, questioning, encouraging.
For being heroes of support.
She is going to love that!

What a lovely idea, Whitney! I think Mercedes definitely deserves a gift! And thank you for mine! It's been such fun to read everyone's stories and enjoy the different points of view here. Thank you, thank you!

I've loved June on Dare to Dream...LOVED it! I was thinking how neat that what started out as a bandwidth issue became such a great showing of womanhood & heroism. I learned quite a bit and felt enlightened by all who contributed. My contribution was a much needed stretch and I'm grateful for the encouragement you offered, Whitney.
Congrats to Mercedes...ENJOY!

It's easy to get on board this website/cause. So much to respond to!
Thanks, Whitney, for putting yourself out there, and subsequently, getting us to put ourselves out there.
