Your words make me dream of possibilities, your thoughts keep me musing about the authenticity of my days... I celebrate and truly admire those "wise" women who have a compassionate heart ;to guide a daugther, to love her deeply, it takes courage , it asks a sense of " who you are"... Simply merci for giving us a peek of how a "mother-daughter" relation can be a great joie de vivre! Oh...and those photographs; make you wish you were there too!

They didn't have a "ceremony" (that I know of!), but it was still a weekend that I think they'll all always remember. Just taking the time to be together is the main beauty of such retreats, I think.

If nothing else, they know that they're worth our time and attention. Some day it will be interesting to ask Lulu and her friends to reflect back on it, and see how it may have influenced them.

I'm happy to share what we've done with you--though I'm sure any group you form will find plenty of ideas of its own. I love that last photo too.
