Good morning.
It is so cooolllddd outside. I awoke this morning with my fellow SHOG (Sister-Hood Of Goddesses) members on my mind. They have been so many things to me; my friends, my surrogate moms, my mentors, my family, my girls, my examples...just everything that you can think of, they have been. I am so thankful for them.
I said that to say, this is what SHOG is all about. Its about creating a love and truth through and from one another to make us better as women. We are all family members and friends that believe in the power of sharing our lives and life experiences so that someone else may be inspired, uplifted, encouraged, comforted, and empowered. We believe in each other and are always there for each other.
My sisters, (it was 4 of us), started SHOG some 20 years ago. It wasn't called this then, it was just the annual "girl's trip". Each year when a female turned 18, in our immediate family, she gets to go on the trip...(grown folks only was the motto..lol). I was the last of the 4, and unfortunately, my first trip was with only 2 of my sisters because the 3rd one passed away 4 months before the annual excursion. It was bittersweet. I was happy to finally be in the club and sad that we were not all able to share in my initiation. Anyway, the short of it is, we have not failed to get together for 3-5 days, every year since that time. We laugh, cry, sing, dance, exercise, be lazy, cook, clean, go out, shop, play, sightsee, and any other thing that we decide to do in those 3-5 days. These days come and are over way too soon for us. It's a time for us to not do anything, other than, care for ourselves and each other; which is something women don't do enough of.
So we are starting this blog to take you on the journey of our lives, we hope that you will have as much fun as we do. Most of all we hope to inspire change through the bonds of unity, faith, truth, authenticity, and most importantly...the LOVE of true Sisterhood.
We are the Sister-Hood of Goddesses.......
