To all the powerful, poetic, brilliant, brassy, witty and wonderful women of wowOwow~ thank you! Lesley’s comment about women needing conversation as much as we need food, shelter, air, in fact, moved me to write and thank each of you. I have always been blessed by the company and conversation of women - what I refer to as the global sisterhood, and now I feel as though you all have opened yet another door, offered a seat at another kitchen table so that myself and other sisters always have the nourishment in connecting we need. Having recently moved to a new community, I was invited into a neighbor’s house for a glass of wine with some women. While we talked around the proverbial kitchen table, a question was posed to me about my support for Senator Clinton, as I have a campaign sign in my yard. While it was quite clear quite quickly that my politics were in the minority around the table, I was eager to reach out to these women, to make new connections. At some point, someone asked me why I considered myself a feminist. While at first I felt quite defensive about sharing such a personal and important part of who I am with strangers, as I spoke, and as I listened to the other women around that table, I realized that whether we agreed on politics, or parenting or the definition (and purpose) of feminism was simply not as important as the conversation in and of itself. I hope that I am invited back for more. Thank you for inviting us to the conversation here~ Kelly K., Cleveland Ohio
