Thought of the day: I attended a YWCA luncheon today with some wonderful women from our neighborhood. It was nice to catch up with old friends and meet up with some new ones. We had an inspiring keynote speaker and two women served by YWCA telling touching stories of their personal journeys. The speakers were all very frank, articulate and their speeches were thought-provoking. It was an all-women event and I could feel a tangible, emotional connection among the audience and between the audience and the speakers. After spending years in a male dominated tech world, I have rediscovered and enjoyed the companionship of some amazing female friends in the past few years. Our friendships are comforting, supportive and fun. In a way, I think I'm trying to make up for what I have missed in the earlier part of my life. Today's lunch reminded me yet again of the power of our collective being. Together, we can overcome obstacles that life throws our way. Together, we can achieve what we can't achieve alone, namely, the finding of truth and the attainment of happiness.
