Default Off for the weekend

I'm off to Portland in the morning for a PFLAG State Council Retreat. Its always fun to get new and exciting ideas for my chapter and to see my PFLAG friends. Saturday evening we have a cozy "circle time" where we talk about what continues to inspire us to continue the work we do. We're all in tears by the end of it. Fun stuff.

Have a great time Becky. You deserve a weekend get-away.

I am back! I learned new things that I'm going to type up for you guys and gained new inspiration for my PFLAG chapter. I forgot the tissue but luckily others did not. They shared. I told everybody about Empty Closets and some were even able to check it out last night. They said they were really impressed! I'm hoping all will link to it on their websites.

Glad to see you had a good time. I have told the PFLAG group I go to about EC. I do not know if they saw the site.

Glad you had such a wonderful time. I think it's great that you have told them about EC.

Actually I am thinking of doing the same at my next GLBT group meeting. They've put a resource list, and I was thinking that EmptyClosets could and should be on that list as well.
