a great resource and conference just for women

so i know it's been a while since i posted any goodies for y'all, but that's because i've been sneakily posting on facebook. check us out at: www.tinyurl.com/facebooksurviving!

okay, here's my new gem for y'all: wings for women military spouses conference

check them out at: www.wings4women.wordpress.com or on facebook.

i spent the evening laughing, crying and left refreshed. not only was my mind at ease for a few hours, but my spirit seems renewed and my soul seems to be approaching refilled. what's great about this group is that these ladies started out as simply meeting at the coffee shop and having fellowship and encouraging each other through their spiritual journey and this journey we call our military life. from there it grew to a blog and now a yearly conference. with worship music, a few snacks, some door prizes and keynote speakers, a room full of strangers, some who travel seven states over, quickly has transformed into a sisterhood and group of ladies who for the weekend have come to fill their spiritual tanks and put on more armour to fight their own battles.

and if you can't make it to the conferences, oh there are more about various topics, there is always the blog and facebook.

you are appreciated!

in 1984, president ronald reagan realized that military spouses were a vital part to making our military as strong and successful as it is. so, he set aside the friday before mother's day as military spouses appreciation day. to honor you, the military spouse who waits, no matter the distance or how long, who fights your own battles on the homefront between sleepless nights and tears, who never gives up, no matter how hopeless or stressful the situation may seem.

your day is filled with honors and events across the nation. check with your post's community service center or family readiness center for special events in your honor. check out this link for information on various discounts and freebies, just because you are appreciated! www.militaryavenue.com/articles/military+spouse+appreciation+day+21+-+events+discounts+and+give-aways-33557.aspx
