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.
Thank you, Chronicler! It is wonderful for all of us at Segullah to hear that our efforts have touched someone for good. I’m glad you enjoyed my essay. I am even happier that the larger work we do here is of value for you.
