I have thought about this often over the years and have wondered why it is so hard to find that "safe place" with other women. It takes a lot for me to get to that place, if ever. I think I have been hurt so often by those I consider friends, that when I meet new people, it takes me a while. I wish it weren't that way. And isn't Sally great? I have her book, Educating the Wholehearted Child, and I love it! I think I have only one of these people in my life right now (my mom excluded :) .
