International Women's Day

Since today is International Women's Day, it seems appropriate to share a book about women.

Women Make the Best Friends: A Celebration ~ by Lois Wyse, 1995, stories and poems, 189 pages, 8/10

In her heart of hearts every woman knows that men may come and go, but a true friend is forever.  At nine, nineteen, or ninety, the one constant that marks each stage in a woman's life is the importance of the friendships she has made.  In the best of times and in the worst of times, it is our friends who sustain us, cheer us, and see us through whatever surprises life throws our way.  (Edited, from the dust jacket.)  This book has short anecdotes, short poems, short 4-5 page pieces about conversations remembered.

Week in Review

• On Monday, I mused about a surrogate mother, HERE.
• On Tuesday, I wrote about people I meet in the Circle@Crown Café, HERE.
• My Book Beginning for Friday was from a book about Iran (which seems too topical, but is also why I picked up the book), HERE.
