Our First Happy Ours gathering attracted 20 diverse and wonderful people. Our intention of creating a safe, open and comfortable space for people to be themselves was realized as several people shared their feelings and asked for guidance on personal matters. I would like to open this forum for all who attended, and anyone you want to invite, to use this space to stay connected by continuing to communicate between our gatherings. I invite you to see this space as a place to come when you need support or want to support someone, have a question about life and relationships, or just plain amusement. Let's start building the community we all so long to have: one that is real, accepting, caring, supportive, and that challenges us to be the best that we can be. With grateful heart,
