Hi Friend

I have to share something with you that has changed me forever!

I have had the incredible opportunity to attend the Michigan Women's Retreat and Wisconsin's Highground Retreat — and both brought together women who have served, women who understand each other in a way few others can.

I watched (and heard the stories) as women who walked into those rooms as strangers left as sisters. Women who've carried the weight of service, sacrifice, and sometimes silence found a safe place to be seen, to be heard, and to be understood. There is something sacred about a woman veteran looking another woman veteran in the eye and simply saying, "I get it."

That's the whole point, isn't it? None of us were meant to carry our battles — visible or invisible — alone. Though I did not have the honor of serving as you did, I have many of the same scars, struggles and challenges in life and I feel blessed and happy to be able to serve you in this small way.

Whether it was tears shared over coffee, laughter that broke years of tension, or quiet moments of prayer together, these retreats reminded me why community matters so much. Connection heals. Support sustains. And when women who have served come together, incredible things happen.

And that connection doesn't have to end when the retreat does.

This is exactly why we host our support group every Sunday night — to keep that sense of community and belonging alive, week after week. If you were at either retreat (or wish you had been), I'd love for you to join us tonight.

If you attended either retreat — thank you for your courage in showing up. If you didn't, I want you to know: there is a place for you too. You don't have to walk this journey alone.

With so much gratitude,
Linda

P.S. Can't make it tonight and want to keep the connection going one-on-one? Sign up here for another week — we would love to have you there 💛

Hope to see you tonight!
