A sense of disconnection pervades our increasingly hurried, automated, virtual society. Many are so busy with their day-to-day activities that they are out of touch with their own feelings - disregarding the love surrounding them in all aspects of their lives. They may tend to secret or stuff away experiences, feeling them not worth expressing.From one woman's tale of finding her way to vegetarianism, to another woman's sharing of lessons learned navigating through cancer, the writers lovingly take the time to explore, excavate and appreciate the connections found everywhere. The women gathered here to tell their stories recognize the blessing in the writing and sharing. This not only puts the storyteller on the path of self-reflective healing, but hopefully the reader as well. Illustrating their trust in the power of love, these writers tip the scales in favor of connection.
