Dear Sisters & Friends,

I had been working for many years in the corporate world, and although I enjoyed what I was doing, I did not feel a great deal of satisfaction. I wanted to help others, something I was very passionate about. Coming from the United Kingdom, I also had a desire to find something that would allow me to interact, not only with my sisters, but with other LDS women across the oceans.

Having been a convert to the Church, I was aware, both personally and from those I spoke with, that sometimes we LDS women feel we are not “fitting in”. It became evident that even though we connect at our church meetings, for the most part, we feel a “disconnect” with other sisters. It also is not always easy to find somewhere to go to socialize in a safe setting with other LDS women who share the same standards and values. So many of us struggle with a great deal of guilt when we take personal time away from our other commitments. It is so important for women to appreciate and understand that in order to take care of everyone and everything else, they MUST take some time out for themselves… to take care of themselves!

I felt there had to be another way to find a deeper connection with each other and to instill in all women their values and rights to eternal blessings, no matter their course of life before finding Christ. I wanted to create a setting where they would feel understood and supported, a place that would give them opportunities for their voices to be heard and where they would truly come to know and embrace themselves.

I did a lot of research on the internet and talked to many women in an effort to find out “what was out there” that would meet these needs. I could not find anything and after a much praying and pondering, I made the decision to create that place. We have come far in the last couple of years. I am thrilled and excited to have met so many wonderful women. It is a work in progress as you all play a part in its evolution and as we strive to share new services to support you on your path. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting you in person one day.

Much love,
