					<description><![CDATA[Weather the storm, indeed! Pretty good metaphor for life, actually. :) 

Many years ago I led support groups for parents of seriously disturbed teens who were in a long term treatment center. They came from all over the region for our monthly meetings, some driving in from 3 or more hours away. One night, I found myself with wintery weather and a decision to make, as the first mom walked in. She was one of those who&#039;d driven 3 hours to get there. I told her I was thinking of cancelling, as our numbers were down and I was worried there wouldn&#039;t be enough to make the group. I&#039;ll never forget her response. &quot;Aw honey - I&#039;ve had Al-Anon meetings with two people there and they went great. Don&#039;t worry about it. It&#039;ll be fine!&quot; And she was right. It was one of our better meetings, in fact, and I&#039;ve never forgotten that lesson.

Things have a way of working out as they should, and Women Who Wow is no exception. Thanks for carrying us through, Michelle. :)]]></description>
