light a candle

Body: 

So on January first at 12 in the afternoon- light a long burning candle and join WW everywhere all over the globe.

Please let us know your thoughts as you light your candle.

I will probably light mine early- if I am awake to see the new year arrive.

At noon on New Year's Day I will light a long-burning candle holding in mind each woman who has come to this community in search of healing and support, whether she has ever posted her story or not. I will light it for our belief in the natural will and power of the body, especially our woman-bodies, to heal. And for our belief, and action on that belief, that we are so very worthy of the time, effort and priority that we must place on creatively working along with the wisdom of our own bodies, for our long and healthy futures.

Thank you, Christine, and all sisters here. Here's to us in the New Year. Peace around the world.

Ellen
