    I cannot express in proper words the impact you ladies have on my life. Each time I read an essay I am lifted up by the words from the women of Segullah.

    I am at a searching point, a divide in the road so to speak, the words of Angela reached out and truly spoke to me. I am not seeking a testimony. It is beauty I am trying to refine. And Angela, your wonderful prose helped guide me as if they were just for me.

    Thank you. Each and every one of you.
