On the Shoulders of Strong Women

Braving a cold evening a small group of women gathered for our  monthly spirituality group to celebrate 'Strong Women.' Hey we all ventured out with sub below zero temps, don't we count?Absolutely.

Our strong women choices were inspired by the heroine Queen Esther from biblical days who spoke up and saved her people. Our strong women choices were as varied as those gathered. Do you recognize these women?
