December 16 – Friendship How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst? (Author: Martha Mihalick)
I have a friend who is AWESOME! She's a new friend. I met her in 2009 but I really got to know her in 2010. She is responsible for changing my outlook on the women of Danville. She is the kind of person I always wanted to meet in this town and unfortunately I didn't meet until now. Don't get me wrong, I have met other great people in Danville but meeting Mickie just made me really happy and made me feel comfortable in my own skin in my town. It all happened in a sudden burst and I thank God that I met her. She's a great person and I know that if I need her, she's got my back.
WORD!

Community: Reverb10
December 7 – Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011? (Author: Cali Harris)
I discovered community in the most unlikeliest of places: my kids school. I have found a great group of ladies whom I love and share a lot about my life with. It's great. I finally feel like Danville really is my home. I found one really really good friend who seems to there whenever I need her. that's a friend. And I mean if I can't watch Freaks by Tod Browning with them, then they ain't no friend of mine!
My intention is to stay connected to my current circle of friends. I hope to make these connections even stronger...

Let Go: Reverb10
December 5 – Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)
I let go the pressure that I often feel in my community to be the perfect mom.
I remember feeling like I had to be like the other moms for anyone to really like me or identify with me. I tried to conform to what "they" appeared to want but you know, no matter what I would have done, nothing would have won me the friendships and appreciation of these women. Wanna know why? I wasn't born or raised in Danville or in California for that matter. I'm not skinny. I'm ethnic. I have very ethnic features and I have an opinion that differs from the majority of people in this town. So instead of trying hard to fit into a community that would never really accept me, I found my own group of women in Danville that I can relate to and I am so much happier!
