I have finally made 1000 posts!

This forum and all of you women mean the world to me. Being here has changed me. I know I am a better wife and mother and teacher because of the time I have spent here soaking up the wise wisdom and advice of so very many awesome women.

I'm teary-eyed thinking about the frienships made here and in person because of visits, conferences, and even a lovely gal who moved into our neighborhood way back when (Lissa)!

Thank you, moderators, for everything you do to keep this up and running (and Tim, too). It's simply invaluable to me. If I could only be one place on the Internet, it would be here. Truly.

I don't know why I don't post more, but I'm planning to get to 2000 much quicker than I did to 1000.

With much love and gratitude,
Erica

Erica, I have always loved reading your posts. I feel the same way you do - we have so much wisdom to share, as Catholic wives, mothers and educators of our children. It's an amazing experience, a true continuum. Everyone here has something to contribute, something that will help other members today or in the future.

Congratulations on 1000 posts!

Whoo-hooooo!!!!! Love ALL your posts, Erica!

And, it makes me smile to think of "way back when" when Lissa moved down there! So neat that you "met" her here.

Congratulations! And, yes....let's get to 2000 faster....that would be fun for all involved!

Oh Erica, I do love that your 1000 posts let me get to know you. It has been a very special connection and all because of a little ol' message board where so many have shared so much through the years. You are gonna make me cry, too, friend...
