Thank you for touching my soul!

I am so overwhelmed by this beautiful gift! It has been 20 months since our beautiful son suddenly left us. I have to put on a happy face so often now that no one sees the pain behind my mask. Thank you so much for touching my soul. I wrote this a while back and feel led to share it here.
We, who are left here must go on. We must live our lives through until we go Home to be with Jesus and those who have gone before us.
We must go on, walking the path of grief, the path to a different life than we saw before. A new path. One that is paved with shards of glass. The shards of our broken hearts.
We must go on. Our feet will become tough and calloused as we trod on this new path. Each step helps us take the next as we lean on Jesus. The blisters and calluses toughen and it is easier for a while. Then, they peel, making the steps as painful as they were at first. In time, our calloused feet become toughened for longer periods and we are able to move ahead.
We must not just be.
We must go on...
And live.

How did you know my favorite colors???

Thank you so much for the wonderful basket and all the gifts. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. It is people like you who make this much more bearable and be able to focus on the positive outlook. With all the support from people like you and all the prayers - I will make it thru this much easier. I pray all people who have to go thru this get even some of the blessings I have received.

Thanks again to 12 EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN!!!

You made a huge difference in my life today!

Today was an extra difficult day since my husband suddenly passed away. We are doing everything we can to walk in faith and believe while trying to accept what has happened.YOU showed up today !! An anonymous gift of love and hope and it meant so much to me.. When I opened the envelope I was moved beyond my understanding. I have never had anyone gift me with anything like this in my entire life. I wanted to be sure you knew what it meant and I hope to be part of this amazing movement with Ordinary women!!
Love to you all. YOU MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN MY LIFE TODAY.

Thank you for the flowers and gift card.

Hello to a thoughtful and generous group of women! Thank you so much for the amazing gift of flowers and a gift card for healing services. Having stage 4 cancer at a relatively young age, I waffle back and forth between feeling that others just don't understand and seem indifferent, and on the opposite end being completely overwhelmed by kindness and generosity. Well this was amazing, kind, thoughtful, and so surprising! I wish I had been more gracious when it was delivered... my dad had just died and I was a little out of sorts when the doorbell rang. Thank you so much! It made my day!! My week!!

Finally caught up!!!

This holiday season brought a flood of thank you messages into the website. I have been out of the country and away from the website, I do think I'm finally caught up! 

The joy that comes from seeing so much hope shared with those that truly need it warms my heart. Thank you to all the extraordinary Ordinary Women all over the country who share this vision of sharing HOPE with others. 

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a bright and HOPE filled New Year.

I can't find the words to express how much this meant to me.

I can't find the words to express how much this meant to me. The past 6 months have been beyond hard and I've been overwhelmed with sadness. To know that there are people like you who are praying for my family and I give me hope. Your generosity and thoughtfulness are amazing. I just found the gift on my porch and I'm super grateful.
Thank you and God Bless you!!

Wish I could say an appropriate thank you.

Oh my goodness - what an amazing gift to receive today. I was so taken aback by the kind gesture that I don't think my words really expressed to the volunteer that stopped by - I wish she could back so I could hug her and say an appropriate thank you.


The kind words have touched me so, to be recognized and honored by those around me, even if anonymously is so heartwarming and validating.

I look forward to a future of being involved with this amazing organization.
