Washing our struggles away



Is this the river you do your laundry in ?



"Researcher Brene Brown told a story about a village where all the women washed clothes together down by the river. When they all got washing machines, there was a sudden outbreak of depression and no one could figure out why.



It wasn't the washing machines in and of themselves. It was the absence of time spent doing things together. It was the absence of community.  "



I believe Facebook groups such as this have become the river we take our laundry too. We share common interests and find friends universe wanted us to find.   Not because we are of same religion, school, work or geography. It's because we value the same things. However deep or shallow it may be.  We find our fellowship, our tribe , our sisterhood. 



.   Together we sort and wash matters that matters the most to our heart, soul and spirit. 



I hope you all find your river, washing spots and amazing women to wash with.
